I Recommend This Course
Course nice as always
Price of course too high. Looks like the facility is under utilized. Great condos along 18 seemingly empty. Brought the wives out (3 couples) and had a great dinner in Kiva grill. Just erks me it’s sooo costly. We’ve played here for 20 years. I hope the under cover grows back as it was before this last Hurricane 3 yrs ago.

Course was in great condition. Many risk- reward areas to get in trouble with a driver. Several fairways were wide if you didn’t out drive them. Plenty of sand and water almost every hole. Talked to a man who had played several courses in the area and he said this one was his favorite

Kiva Dunes we’ll deserved as #1 course in Alabama. With the marsh hazards and countless sand traps, you must be on your game. Let’s not forget the multi tiered/sloped greens. It is definitely a challenging course. Will be back again to play!! Staff was very personable. A must visit course for any level of colder!!
