Course staff

It was 105 degree heat index and none of the water coolers across the entire course from 8am - 1pm contained any water. After briefing staff initially, we expected it would be addressed by the back 9.

Course Marshall’s were also very rude. We went in after 9 and were heckled for how long we took (20 minutes) and ruining the course of play.

Terrell review

I really enjoyed this course. Honestly, the only thing which would have made my experience better, would be a Mikitary Discounted Rate! Challenging, yet playable layout! Very friendly and well maintained!!

Fairways and greens were in great shape. Pace was slow thru front nine but got better on the back.

Nice, but.,..

Tees,, fairways and traps were all pretty good and layout was interesting but the greens were very spotty and poor for anyone that enjoys seeing the ball roll smoothly. Don't think I'd play it again with these greens even at $56 or whatever.

Nice course

Course is good condition as usual. Always have enjoyed playing here each vacation.

-

Kind of surprised they allowed a walk-in to push me of off my tee time that I had reserved AND prepaid three days prior.

Could have shown my hind quarters, but I’m on vacation, so what’s time!

Perfect place for Gulf Shores Golf

We come here every time we visit Gulf Shores.

Staff is awesome, amenities, golf shop, golfing itself and drinks are all a great value.

The course is forgiving and all for a lot of fun.

They keep the pace of play moving.
