A pleasure if perfect weather

The course is in good shape for this time of year. The challenging holes were tamed slightly due to little wind. Fun to play for $45

Gulf shores.GC

Played a hot deal on a Sunday for $61 pp.

course conditions were very good as far as greens, fairways and tee boxes.. staff were friendly and helpful. Full service cafe and pro shop. Modern electric carts worked well- no gps but they did have a 90 degree cart rule in play. The course is flat but full of mid fairway bunkers and scattered water hazards to challenge most golfers.

Nice shape

Greens nice condition but I could not make a putt. Maybe they need to be rolled, or maybe I need a new putter. Other than number three tee box course in very nice shape.
