This course was the best one I’ve played so far.

This course exceeded my expectations. I had no idea what I was getting into as I pulled up I had never had the course staff help me with my things. I am a beginner golfer and this was definitely a trip to remember.

Kiva Dunes is the pick 1

Nicest course near Gulf Shores imo . The greenskeeper should be commended , it was in perfect shape.

Greens were fast but not too fast , rolled true .. Lots os tee box choices to suit everyone.

We had a lot of rain but the course was in great shape and drained better than anyplace I’ve been. Guys in the pro shop said they never go cart path only. On the high side but much nicer than gulf shores golf club for the money.

Nice but…….

Really nice place to play. I joined up with a wonderful older coupleand had a nice afternoon. We even saw a gator. But when i got to the practice greens i realized that the greens had been punched a few weeks ago. The starter confirmed tell8n* me it had been 2 1/2 weeks. When I went in to the pro shop after the ro7nd I told the guy working the desk that”you have a really nice golf course here. I enjoyed it a lot.. Can I suggest you let people kn9 on your website that the greens were recently aerated. After all it is a $100 + to play here.” He responded by saying “its been over a month”. Which bothered me because I was very kind about my suggestion, even telling him I would be back. But to bold face lie to me when it is clearly not been a month. Thats just bad people skills.

One last thing, beware they allow 5-somes. In fact there were a number of them, which resulted in a 5 hour round.

Still a really nice track and worth playing.

Played this course while on vacation. Even though I only played nine holes, it was a great course! I would have loved to have played 18 but was limited on time.

Kiva review

I love the course, but at $135/ round, I don't play as much as I'd like to. It is worth extra no doubt. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is a great value IMO.

Nice layout, terrible pace of play

Interesting layout with some really unique holes. They recently aerated and the greens are not healing particularly well, though. Really bouncy and slow.

I could have tolerated that if not for an incredibly slow and loud group in front of us, who single handedly added an extra hour to the round. It seems like the marshals knew how slow they were playing and didn’t do anything to make them push their pace.

I wanted to enjoy the round but the pace of play, in addition to the aerated greens, really marred the whole experience.
