Top Course in G Shores

Played here in the summer of 2020 with my bachelor party crew and we had an amazing time! The course exceeded my expectations and was easily the favorite course my golf crew and I played during our trip to Gulf Shores. We had perfect weather, the course was in amazing shape, I thought the layout was challenging but fair, and the starters were awesome joking around with us as we teed off on #1. I cant wait to come back hopefully in 2021.

Beautiful Course

Nice layout. Greens were in great shape. It was windy, so the course was playing hard. Would play it again.

Tough undulating greens

Despite a recent hurricane and the clean up, the fairways and greens were in great shape! Tight short greens with multiple undulations made it challenging. I almost felt like it was a Donald Ross design.

We would play here again.

Fun layout. No two holes the same.

I have heard a lot about the course from others who have played it and I will say It lived up to the hype. Fantastic layout and opportunity to hit some really fun shots with the wind being in play every hole. The hurricane definitely cause some damage and they lost over 200 trees. But it was still a great time.

Good experience

The property had a lot of hurricane damage but the course itself was in pretty good shape considering.. Staff was great but there was no locker room with other facilities like course bathrooms were OTS., I believe the round was a little overpriced.

Kiva

I did not make any putts as they where very hard to read. Be prepared to make some unusual club selections due to the amount of wind that you deal with on the scores.

We had a blast and I am looking forward to playing this track again real soon

Nice Course

Course has been open only two weeks because of Hurricane Sally and the grounds crew has done an amazing job getting the course in great shape. The greens are large and putt true. Pro shop and club house staff were friendly and welcoming.
