Always good!

Fairways drying up since no rain and low humidity for quite a while. Greens true and fast. Rough is Bermuda, but cut short enough so that you don't lose your ball!

Great course that just needs water and fertilizer

I really enjoyed playing here as a single just trying to sneak a quick round in.

Very Good Shape! Nice course!

Played this course multiple times this year and it is probably in the best shape so far. Greens are perfect and true. Very nice fairways and tee-boxes. Rough plays fair and course plays moderate difficulty overall. It is a bit pricey but it does come with unlimited range balls and first class putting and chipping areas. It's a bit too expensive to play all the time but 3 or 4 times a year seems doable. I wish I would of took a picture. It is a really pretty course with fox squirrels running around everywhere.

Nice track, greens we're nice and quick, keep your ball below the flag. Fairways we're in good shape some tee boxes need work. Would play again!

Fun playable course!

We had played Gulf Shores Golf Club more than five years ago and remembered it fondly, so we made sure to play it on this trip. Friends who had not played it previously joined us and we had a fun day. We went off right at our 8:10 tee time and finished at about 11:50 AM. The course was in great shape (other than inconsiderate golfers ahead not raking the traps) and the staff was friendly. They had rangers out on the course making sure folks were moving along. If we had more time we'd definitely play GSGC again!

Biting flys

The course was crowded. Too many groups playing and members walked on without tee times. There were people backed up in front and behind us. They need to schedule more time between players.

Bring your bug spray. The biting flies were awful.

Staff was very friendly and helpful though.

Great

All was friendly. Staff was excellent.

I understand there is new Managment coming in.

Don’t change the squirrel logo. It has been the representation of that club for so long.

Course review

This was first time playing this course and can’t really knock the course conditions due to the fact of all the rain during and after the hurricane. The crews were busy the day of play mowing but with that said the grass clippings were piled in the rough and fairways. I honestly feel that on a normal schedule this would be a really good course to play. I plan on playing again on my next trip to the area
