Good track
Fun to play. Pace usually good. Experienced unauthorized players jumping in front of us at the turn.
Family golf day
Played 18 holes with my wife, son and son in law. Very fair course for our different abilities. I have recommended this course to others and will play this course again next time I’m here from escaping the north in the winter.
Winter Golf
For winter golf was ok. Comparable and maybe a little better, especially considering driving range included, than other courses of similar price. Fairways, ok Greens ok, but they should add range finder prisims to flag poles, and maybe get new cups, as a number of flagpoles wouldn’t stand straight
Enjoyable round
The practice facilities were excellent. The course layout was good! Most bunkers were nice. Fairways at time were mainly wet. Some spots worse than others. Had a cheeseburger with fries that were delicious
GREAT Layout. Dissapointing conditions.
Beautiful track. Great service. I know it's February. But for the money, I expected the course to be in better shape. Greens and t boxes nice. Fairways were very chewed up. Many told us it was the nicest course down here. Clean up the fairways!
Great experience
This was probably my 5th or 6th time playing Gulf Shores, and each time it has been very good. As a 35 year long golf course maintenance worker on the Blackwolf Run Golf courses in Kohler, Wisconsin, I notice not just the course, but the details. First,I have played several other courses in the area prior to this outing, and your course was in the best shape from tee to green. More of the grass was greener from tee to green, and the greens really rolled well, especially when you consider the time of year. The tees were in great shape, and.from the looks of the fairways, it looks like your staff and some of the golfers are taking care of the divots. Keep up the great work!
Great conditions
Greens, fringes, fairways, and bunkers all very well kept and in great winter condition.
New pricing
After reviewing my receipt I realized that I had been charged a higher amount than the amount charged for a previous round of 9
I have reserved tee times after 1pm as the fee was $40, now under new management the fee was $50
Probably my last round here, sad as I have enjoyed playing here for years and also purchase a nice bag in the pro shop a few years ago
Greens need some help with warmer weather but everything else was in decent shape
Jimbo 46
Wish they had a course set up between 5350 and 4600 yards. Some of the par 4 were well outside my range and too down the fun of the game.
