Terrible greens
The course was in ok condition but the greens are terrible. Soime have no grass at all.
Great Winter Conditions
Considering winter conditions this course is in amazingly good condition:
Greens, fringes, fairways, and bunkers all really good.
Very Nice Golf Course
Two years ago I would have given this course 1 star. This year it is a sold 4 star. Great layout and quite challenging. Improvements have been made everywhere. From the course condition to the golf carts. Even is February the course was mostly green and the greens were very good. We did not use the Bar/dining area so I just gave it an average score.
Good value and a very enjoyable round
There was a couple of delays for rain showers, but we still finished in just over 4 hours. We all liked the layout, the course was in good condition , and the staff was very friendly.
Golf at gulf shores golf course
Great track had plenty of time to hit free gold rangeballs, Chipping greens was in good shape for the season. Putting green was in good shape. I wish the pro shape would have a better rate but GN was easy to use.
Jibby
An ice course had a good time. Wish there was a set of teas between 47 and 53 for us over golfers that still wanna have a bit of a challenge but not make the game less fun.
Surprising
We’ve been on the run for about limitless more than a month. We’ve played 8 rounds in central Florida before heading for Alabama. Honestly the best thought course I’ve played for a while. Well thought course with just enough excitement. Just two tees are bumpy. Except that pretty cool.
Will Not Go Back
Call in at 7:45am for a tee time; set at 10:40am. Showed at up 10:20am - tee time had not been entered.
Had a coupon for
discount; asked about it over the phone. When arriving I was told. the information given to me over the phone was incorrect. The price was higher than I was told.
We were told we would be pairing with another 2 some. When we got to the 1st tee - no starter; never saw a Marshall or Cart person the entire time.
Had the feel of a unorganized, low class operation.
Great course conditions
Even after a lot of rain the greens were great, fairways also. Bunkers were still a little soggy: understandable.
Great job of maintenance.
Good golf, good pace
This course has always been good round of golf even when my game isn't the best. It's a fair round of golf, nothing fancy just straight forward golf.
Upset with tarter
I was playing at a nice pace early in the morning and not holding anyone up. But after the first 9 the started inserted a 2-some right behind on hole 10. When I look behind me on my second shot on 10, the 2-some was on the tee ready to hit. I hate holding anyone up so I rushed my swing and my pace of play only to be 5 over par after 3 holes. I was constantly looking behind me to not hold up the 2-some behind me. My round was ruined, hence the 1-star.
course was great, i wasn't
Due to the recent record snowfall dome of the fairways were still soft and the ball would plug. That just happens. The greens rolled well and were pretty quick. The fairways were well kept and had no bare spots. There was only one rough with a few bare spots. The effort was just a bit more than I was prepared for after 6 wks of inactivity following stomach surgery. I will be back!!
Fantastic greens
Just serviced a big snow storm. Amazing greens. Bunkers still a little heavy with moisture.
Lots of snow on course yesterday
Course absorbs water very well. Bunkers still a little heavy and wet.
Greens on amazingly good condition.
Well done, crew!
