Nice course in general

This is a nice course in general. We came back because we were in the area, and the greens had been some of the best around. They had several rough spots in them; however the ball still rolled fairly true most of the time. I wish distances were marked a little better. They did have colored buttons on most holes, but the were hard to find at times. A small stake that could be seen from either side of the fairway would be nice.

Windy day

Course in solid shape for this time of year. Looking forward to how it will be come spring. Sand traps are the biggest issue...but stay out of them and they don't matter.

Bear of a course to play on a cold windy day,, like today was in the afternoon. Course easily plays 30 to 40 yards longer.

Dothan national

Great course layout for sure! If the greens were consistent it’d be a great course. Every hole was either super slow or super fast. Other than that a great course. I’ll be back for sure. Mind you I’m playing in January so I guess that’s to be expected. Can’t wait to see what they have prepared for the summer!

Good Deal for the Money

Course and Staff were very nice. Just needs some TLC. My suggestion would be to drive your cart slowly as the fairways and paths are rather bumpy. Had a 5some let me through without asking

Overall average

Nothing I really didn’t like but nothing that excited me either. Several washouts across the fairways. Greens were a little thin and fast. Bunkers appeared to have a lot of clay since they were orange.

Still fun and entertaining however.

Great course and great people

Came up to the Dothan area for a weekend golf trip with some buddies. Decided upon Dothan National and very happy I did. The staff in the club house are the nicest people I’ve encountered at a golf course which really helped set the tone for what would be a very fun day on very fun course. Speaking of the course, it was in pretty good shape minus a few patches on some select greens, but for $30 it blew away same priced courses in the Tampa area where I’m from. I actually collect a logo ball from a course from every state I play in, and since this was my first Alabama course I wanted to get one in the pro shop. They were out at the time, but the nice woman behind the counter took down my address and actually mailed me a ball (for free, mind you) to my Florida residence. Can’t say enough good things. Exactly what a “cheaper” course should be and others should strive to be.

Best course this trip

The course was in very good condition. The greens had been sanded the day before and were a little slow, but putted very true. Not a ton of water, but enough to make you think about it. Several fairway ang greenside bunkers which always makes things interesting. Played the white tees except a few of the holes we moved up to gold to make the overall distance a couple hundred yards shorter. Getting older makes some of the longer par 4s difficult to reach in regulation. It was a long drive from PCB, but worth it.

Great layout, great value

Greens definitely need to be rolled. Holes are raised and push putts away the last few inches. An indication greens have not been rolled in a while. Other than that, no major critiques. Always a fun and challenging course to play.

Never Again

Sorry I hate giving reviews but I needed to talk about this one. I live in Dothan, Alabama and there are not many courses you can play so I try to support the smaller courses. This is my second time trying to play this course. The first time me and my daughter tried to play we did not make it threw five holes because the course was in awful shape. I did not comment on that one. So today I tried to play this course again and I must say the course looked 100% better. The problem was the grounds crew . Today it was wet with a overcast and I was the only person the course. I teed off at 7am . I get to the 2nd hole and there is a ground keepers riding on green. I'm thinking he will move when I hit my approach shot NOPE . He continued to ride on green even as I was putting out. So I just was like ok and went on the next hole. Then I get to hole number 5 the same guy is up by green. I am 78 yards out. The guy continues just to ride while I am standing waiting to hit up. This is not a exaggeration needless to say I never finished my round. I packed it up and left. Never again will I set foot on the grounds of DOTHAN NATIONAL GOLF CLUB.
