Great shape
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.
Impeccable Conditions
Greens were some of the best I’ve ever played, true and lightning quick with fun complexes
Fun Course!
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.
Always enjoy
I don't get to play Kiva alot but I do love playing it when I get a chance.
A very good course,Above average for a resort
Above average for a resort course. It is tougher than the other resort courses. The traps are not all the same sand. The powder ones are very difficult. Good golfers 9 or less will enjoy green challenges , the rest of us it’s golf.. what you Should be looking for
Wind can make more difficult
Excellent golf course. If you want to be rewarded for a shot in the fairway it’s here. Very plush and green course, if you stay in the fairways. The staff does a great job of maintaining course. Unless they are making repairs or something you should bee pleased.
Beautiful Course
This course if extremely well maintained. Green, fairways and tee boxes are in perfect condition. Course map with distances are very helpful for first time player of the course. Our pace of play was right on time.
Well kept course, Huge Greens & Fairways....My kind of course.
Fabulous
Best course in Alabama including Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Course immaculate, greens always perfect. Even at the rates, a great buy.
Fun Course with Very Nice Conditions
This was my first time playing Kiva Dunes. The staff at the course is fantastic. From the time you arrive at the bag drop to the time you take your cart to the cart return, the staff was friendly, nice and very accommodating.
Great practice area (range balls included in the greens fee). The course has a nice mix of sand, water, trees, and rough. The course was in excellent shape. The greens were big and quick with lots of slopes and undulations. There are many scenic, and fun golf holes. If you book on Golfnow with a Hot Deal, the course is quite a bargain. The worst part of the round was the SLOW play. Once we reached hole #9, we had to wait on the tee box and we had to wait on every single hole from 9 - 18. Very slow and agonizing.
The course is quite open with plenty of room of the tees. There are a few strategically place bunkers which makes you think about what you are doing, but if you are a little wayward, the course is not too penalizing. Next time I am in the area, I will definitely be back to play again.
Best Course in Gulf Shores Area
Best course in the Gulf area! Diverse holes, scenic, fast undulating greens, good pace of play, excellent staff, and a bargain if you book a Hot Deal on Golfnow!
5 star course
Beautiful course with an awesome staff.The pace of play was great.I cannot say enough about the friendly staff and the course condition
Pretty course
Starter rushed us before tee time then we were held up every hole.
Marshal was pleasant and helpful.
Holes are too close for amateur players...rather dangerous at times.
Nice course
Course was firm even after 2 weeks of rain. Greens were quick and had some nice breaks on them. Plenty of room off the tee and greens are pretty good size.
Great layout!
The course has an excellent mix of sand, water, trees, and rough. The four people in our group were impressed with the challenging layout. The course was in excellent shape. The greens were big and quick. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning here soon.
