Kiva Dunes Golf Course

The course stood up really well to the rainy start of the round. The fairways were in great shape! The greens were true and fast even with the rain. Great value for the money paid through Golfnow. Overall fantastic experience!!

It was an amazing experience. Can’t wait to play again

First off, this course is a difficult course, even more so from the tips. This course was amazing, and it absolutely ate me alive (though i did get a couple pars, and birdied a par 4) I would recommend this course to anyone within driving distance, who loves golf and seeing excellent courses. Read the scorecard first, there are a few holes where off the fairway is protected vegetation, so dont go looking for your balls if you hit them into there. Narrow fairways, with tons of natural hazards. Also were treated to a flyover (practice) by the Blue Angels, which was really cool.. everyone around stopped and got their phones out and recorded the jets for a couple minutes. We were in sort of a hurry, so we were unable to try any of the food, but the employees were absolutely first rate. From the moment we arrived, we were engaged by a caring attendant who unloaded our clubs for us, and secured them into the cart. Once we were finished, they met us at our truck, unloaded our clubs, and promptly cleaned them while asking about our round. They certainly know how to make you feel special. Lastly, when we played was 2 days after a tropical storm, and you couldn't tell it from the course conditions. Excellent irrigation, and a very well maintained course. Greens were also very well kept. Next time on vacation i will definitely play there again.

This is not an easy course, in fact it is totally in forgiving. If you are playing this course for the first time I recommend you drive the entire course in your cart and make notes. The fairways are very undulating and feed off on both sides. There is not a flat spot on any green. I am not trying to discourage anyone from playing this course, I am just saying be prepared. The staff and clubhouse are great, Hugh bar that severs breakfast, lunch and dinner with a spacious screened in porch where you can enjoy a cigar. Let me say one more thing about the course, we played the first four holes before a lightning and heavy rain storm and the rest of the round in a steady drizzle. There was not one drop of standing water anywhere on the course. It was like hitting shots off of fine carpet. I got my but kicked today but I am going back for more .

This is a fun course to take on. My Son and I are high handicap golfers and we were paired with a twosome playing a best ball round. We decided to do the same just to move along. We were glad that we did. We enjoyed challenging the course and kept ourselves from the frustration of a very high score.

My Golfing Buddy had played Pebble Beach...He said Kiva was More Beautiful..

Good mix of par 4’s and pin placements. Course needs a Marshall that moves slow groups along more affectively.

The course should review its price point for golf in my opinion rounds are $10-20 too high for this time of year.

Loved the course. It is very fair. It has sand and water but is not set up to be tricky or extremely hard. Was in great shape. Great Course for first timers and average golfers. Greens are fast but roll true. We had a 8am tee time and finished in under 4 hours. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A Marshall and the cart girls made regular passes throughput the round. We are tourists and will definitely play this every year. It is a little pricey but worth the splurge. We did see three alligators including a 4 footer ON the cart path so I would be aware. Searching.for golf balls in the marshes not a great idea.

I always enjoy play at Kiva Dunes. Mike our at entry is extremely welcoming.

It helps to know the course a little before playing. Greens are large and very fast but also very true. Many traps and some hazards to hit over. Good layout with most holes being different from the others. Greens make the course fun to play. Because it could be difficult for average golfers, play is slow. Major downside is the price.

Greens were some of the best I’ve ever played, true and lightning quick with fun complexes

Kiva is a fun course. Not long at all with challenging, undulating greens in many cases. Conditions were really good and the staff that I had interactions with were great. Would definitely play again.

I don't get to play Kiva alot but I do love playing it when I get a chance.
