Kiva Dunes Golf Course

This course was absolutely pristine!! The greens were immaculate and firm. They rolled well and had good speed, but were still very receptive to the ball. Fairways were some of the best i have ever played. Even the tee boxes were perfect. I played the back tees, and while distance was long(~7200), it did make it fun and challenging. There are tee boxes that would make this course great for any one!

I am a member at a very very nice club in the Atlanta area, and it pains me to admit that this course put my home course to shame. There was not a thing that Kiva Dunes didnt exceed my club in.

Im Hoping to get back out there soon!

Disclaimer: Drawn to the course by reviews. Used to playing golf in the Midwest with fescue and bentgrass. Not many "quality" courses in the area. Typically a walker.

I had higher expectations for this course based on reviews. The overall condition was VG. Greens were solid, hard and tough to hold on approach. One challenging water-carry hole on the course. Several tee boxes were covered in divots.

My biggest concern was pace of play and realize this is a resort course with the potential for higher numbers of high handicap players. Several groups allowed us to play through only to realize the group we followed in to the club house on 18 had at least one hole open in front of them. This was after the nice young man had a conversation with us about how their round had suffered from slow play.

I realize many courses face pressure in today's business environment and are troubled with rising labor costs and dwindling labor supply. Their were marshalls on the course,but all they did was drive the course in their carts. Courses need to step up and take charge of pace on their course. Pace could have easily been improved if the slow groups were required to allow other groups to play through.

Unique property with very interesting layout. Great fairways

What a fantastic place! Super friendly staff; wonderful layout. Tee to green; the course was in fabulous condition. Very playable for 10-25 handicappers. We played with Hurricane IAN in the gulf so some wind affected us, but still able to keep the score low. Love to come back again when down here.

Play here every couple of years during vacations. Course is always in excellent condition. If the wind is blowing it can be a bear.

Great track. Great condition. Can use signage on the course though

Course was in great shape and the staff was top notch

While vacationing in a condo next to this course I got a “Hot Deal” and played this Kiva Dunes for the first time. Tee boxes, fairways, greens (and sand traps) all were in great shape, well maintained. Course layout was somewhat challenging but yet playable for players of all skill levels.
All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The marshal (I forgot his name) was super friendly and engaged in good conversation while I was waiting on the group of 3 that I was teamed up with as a lone golfer.
Free, unlimited range balls with several targets on the range were a big plus. I recommend playing Kiva Dunes and would play again if/when in the area. It’s a nice classy course with a welcoming feel.

It was raining before and a little during round and course was still in amazing shape. Had difficult holes along with some open holes and was a great course to play. Staff in clubhouse and Marshall were very friendly and pace of play was good. Will definitely be returning in the future.
