Great Round

Was a single and was paired with a twosome (members). Great guys and they made the round fun. Was here on vacation and the weather was terrific. Course was in great shape and staff at check in was very friendly.. Was originally scheduled to play at 928 and checked in and that was confirmed. After warming up some on the range the starter came up and asked me my name and then he told me I was going off at 920. I told him I was at 928 and he grumbled that he had me at 920. I said no problem I can go off early, but that I reserved 928. I dont think he liked to have his God complex challenged. I wrapped up my range session and went to the first tee and have a great round. Never saw the starter again, which was nice.

Nice course , staff was very pleasant, ranger came by and explained why the back 9 would be playing slower, the greens had been aerated recently but by another week will be in excellent condition. I will play this course again.

Great Staff

We had big expectations for our 1st time at Kiva Dunes. The staff and amenities were terrific. Pace of play was a bit slow, really got backed up on the back 9. The ranger tried to move things along, but it was a long hot day.

The course routing is a bit generic, with only a few really good holes. No bad holes, but nothing that really stood out. Was hoping for better views. For the price, there are better tracts in the area.

Great Course, Great People

Loved this layout and resort feel. I came to Kiva as a guest staying down the road with family. They were fantastic. They meet at the car and help with the clubs, range is included and cart is included which are huge perks. The grass and overall quality were great. Not a single issue here. Thanks for the great course Kiva!

Love Kiva!

Tee time was 730, it was overcast but never rained. Course was in fantastic shape! No GPS on carts so bring your own. Round was 4:15, pretty good for a resort course. Greens were perfect.

Kiva Dunes Review

Staff was excellent starting with someone greeting us in the parking lot and taking our bags and putting them on a cart. Practice facilities were tremendous. The starter got us off on our schedule tee time and paired us with a great guy. Pace of play was great and our round took four hours. Course conditions were very good considering the time of year. Plus the greens were firm and putted true. Would definitely recommend this course to other golfers.
