First Round

Because thus was our first time playing Kiva Dunes, more signage to the tee boxes and yardage would have been helpful. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pace of play was perfect.

Pricey, but fun

A very well maintained course and fun layout. Mix of challenging and forgiving holes. Firm greens

Felt a bit high for overall value, but in line with region

Great Experience

1st time playing Kiva. It stormed the day prior and a few hours prior to my tee time. Upon arrival around 8AM the course was in phenomenal shape. No signs of the rain that it received. Staff was very helpful and nice. No issues with pace of place. Can't wait to play Kiva again. 1st class experience

Slow Pace of Play and loud music in almost each cart

Beautiful course, well maintained, friendly staff. Most of the players had no etiquette, loud music everywhere, yelling on the greens.The Course is nice but the guests have no behavior

Friendly Staff

We had a great day at Kiva Dunes. The staff was incredibly kind. The pace of play was ok as a large group went out in front of us, but we only waited to tee off on a couple holes. The carts are very nice but don’t have GPS. The coarse conditions were very good. We saw a nice alligator getting some sun on the 18th hole. The on coarse beverage service was great. The nice lady selling beverages filled my cooler with ice.

Conditions not as good as Lost Key at half the price

We played Lost Key the day before. The fairways and greens were AWESOME!! Paying more than double to play Kiva Dunes we expected the course to be in much better shape. It was not. To be fair Lost Key was in fantastic shape. Kiva was good but we were all disappointed compared to Lost Key. The greens at Kiva have a lot of slope in them. One of the cart guys told us after the round every putt inside 10 ft is straight... That would have been a handy bit of info to have. Not sure we saw that while we were out there. In any case Kiva is a nice layout but I would say overpriced vs Lost Key.

Beautiful Kiva Dunes

By far, one of the premiere courses in southern Alabama. Try to golf it several times when we visit from Wisconsin.
