Beautiful Course

This was my first time playing here. I had heard great things since moving to Birmingham, and it did not disappoint. The course is very open with plenty of room for the average golfer to find fairways and play an enjoyable round. Would recommend giving it a try.

Golf was as good as it gets. Service in the Inn Pub was the worst—after 25 minutes we left

Amazing course

I’ve always heard amazing things about this place, and the course is even better than the hype. It’s designed so perfectly into the landscape, and the conditions were immaculate. Hole #5 especially is one of the most amazing individual holes I’ve ever seen. The staff friendliness and accommodation was also second to none. It’s a public course, with a country club level of service.

My only complaint was pace of play. The course was on a 50 minute delay and was cart path only. It took almost 6 hours total to play 18, which was the longest round I’ve ever been a part of. That was also with almost no one in front of us, and no one on our heels. The delay was understandable because of heavy frost, but it really didn’t feel like it needed to be cart restricted beyond a 90° rule and no fairways. This course isn’t well designed for walking, so it was impossible to pick up the pace.

Aside from the pace though, 10/10. It’s an unforgettable course and I look forward to coming back next time I’m back in the area.

One of the best in Alabama

Unbelievably beautiful course! Tee times are spaced out so pace of play is good. Course is very playable but can be long depending on the tees.

5 Star Everything

I cannot imagine anyone ever playing this course and not walk away saying “THAT WAS FUN”!!! The course, the grounds, EVERY square inch of Pursell Farms is truly an experience. I used to work there and I can tell you first hand, behind the curtain (Wizard of OZ reference) is just as amazing as you would hope. Congratulations to Farm Links, David & Ellen Pursell and everyone there that makes everything so gosh darn awesome! Oh, and look for Martin Pursell… all the Pursell’s are amazing but he’s super amazing

There's a reason it's rated number 1

Just an amazing track. Beer is expensive from the cart so get it in the clubhouse. Also don't miss the Barrell of chilled apples on the first tee. Greens roll smooth and don't have much break to them. Just loved my day here.

Course is so pure!

I played a lot of nice courses and this is hands-down the best overall experience I’ve had between the quality of the range, the course itself and the friendliness of the staff.

The fairways are like carpet and the greens roll very smooth.

Definitely will be making trips to this course a tradition.
