Very Nice!!

The course was in outstanding condition, though the greens were very fast and not always true, they were in great condition. You have to hit your targets on this course and if it is windy, which it definitely can be since it sits between the gulf and the bay, you really need to hit your targets. The course is not super long and a couple of the par 5's can be reached in 2 from the whites and if you hit long, a couple of the par 4's are drivable. Staff was outstanding and pace of play was unusually good for this area. All in all a very nice day out.

Pristine course

This is a top notch course. From the range to having bag drop person clean your clubs at the end of the round while at your car, this course has it all. The fairways were in immaculate condition. The greens were very fast and rolled true, although were very firm so the ball did not bite too well...even with high approach iron shots. The undulating greens and layout of course was a real treat. If you're looking for a 5 star course and willing to pay what it's worth, highly recommend Kiva Dunes.

Exemplary course

Pristine golf course. I am amazed that it wasn't booked all day. The ter boxes and fairways were immaculate. The rough was even in great shape. The greens were hard but beautiful so make sure you plan it to roll out even with premium balls. Every hole is challenging. Water is in sneaky places so be careful. The starter was very friendly and even gave me a yardage book (a must have on this course.). Very fun course and even has a driveable par 4. A must play at any price.

Excellent Course!

I really enjoyed this course! I was greeted, given a free ball and allowed to play a little earlier then scheduled. Only drawback is the Ukrainian woman who wouldn't give me my change, you physically had to ask for it back from her. If the beer was $3.50 and you gave her a $5 she wouldn't even make an effort to give you change?! I probably will give her the $1.50 but I like to feel like I have the option to do so. That is unethical behavior and really has no place on a golf course. Otherwise she was a very nice woman.

Challenging greens

The course was in good shape. We arrived early to warm up and was able to tee off half an hour early. The greens were very hard. We were told that the greens were new and weren't holding very well. Boy were they right! Good shots ran off the back of the green. Couldn't hit it high enough to hold and my normal shots that check wouldn't hold either. Had to start running everything up to the green. Overall it was a great day of golf.

Friendly staff. The starter we met was very friendly and helpful. The course was is good condition. Beware of tall grasses! Snakes like to hide there, dang near gave me a heart attack. Greens were really nice and rolled true. We will definitely play again when we are in the area.

March Golf

For early March course was in great condition. Greens were consistent and well maintained. Tee boxes and fairways were also excellent. The Whites are fun to play from but go out further and it becomes a great challenge. Driving range and practice greens great and easy to get to.

Enjoyed Kiva Dunes

Course was in very good shape & challenging. Very attractive course and surroundings. Only issue: NO hole layouts unless you purchase course book so hidden traps and water were surprises. Even a basic layout on score card would be appreciated. Price per player includes sales tax & fee.

Great course

Beautiful golf course. High handicappers will struggle a bit with all of the sand and water on the course. Course was in pristine condition. Fairways were like hitting off of carpet. Bunkers had beautiful white sand. Not much bad to say about this course.

The best on the coast and probably the state of Alabama!!!!

Kiva Dunes is by far the best course we play - we play there often! This golf course always gives you a different look because of the changing weather conditions. It is both fun and challenging to play.

The renovations to the course in 2015 are awesome and the course is always in fantastic condition. The staff from the cart attendants, the restaurant staff to the Pro Shop are always welcoming and just the best a guest could hope for. They create a great experience each time we play.

If you have not visited our area and played Kiva Dunes you need to put it on your itinerary soon - you will not regret it. Kiva Dunes is simply the best!!!!!
