Excellent course

Pace of play was a lot slower due to the course being wet and cart path only. Course is in great shape for being late in December and all the rain that we have gotten.

Downhill par 3's are fantastic!

Excellent course

FarmLinks at Pursell Farms is a fantastic golf course. Played it for the first time last week and it definitely impressed. Some great picturesque downhill par 3s that factor the slope into the yardage that is listed on the tee box. The course is overall very playable with large greens and fairways and I was able to play the entire round without losing a golf ball, which is always a plus. The greens were recently aerated m, which happened two weeks prior to our round, and were still in the process of healing, being late in the year. The course offered a slightly discounted rate because of this. All in all, I would definitely recommend the course if you haven’t played it before. This one is a twice-a-year play for me despite living in Nashville! Thanks!

Great Course

This is the best course in Alabama in my opinion not only for the physical layout but also because of the friendliness of the staff.

One of the best courses in the USA

Has the best grass you will ever play on. The golf cart feels like it is moving side to side when going straight because the grass is so thick.

Favorite course in Alabama

Farm Links is an incredible golf course. Pro’s: fantastic layout, scenic, peaceful. Con’s: the day we played it was cart path only, greens had just been aerated so they were very sandy. I did get a discounted rate b/c of the aeration. Normally, this course is more expensive than I want to pay. The course doesn’t seem to drain very well. Bottom line, Farm Links is amazing, but normally too steep for me.

Absolutely stunning!

My new favorite course!! This course and the property is absolutely stunning. I cannot believe I've lived in Alabama for more than 20 years and only recently stumbled across this place. The entire course is immaculate and is very fun/fair and challenging. The par 3's make it spectacular with amazing views. This was my first time here but certainly will not be my last. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive and I'll be planning it several times a year.

FarmLinks is superb

What an experience! Perfect course conditions. Zoysia fairways were like carpet. Greens were perfect except for inconsiderate players not repairing their ball marks. Range balls were high quality Titleist. Nice chipping and bunker practice stations. Great scenery. This is the way golf should be! Recommend very highly. A perfect 10. And the staff stuck the landing!

Wonderful Facility

Top Notch facility. Staff, conditions, and layout are great. Nice change of pace from RTJ Trail with generous fairways and receptive greens. I would recommend anyone making their way out here for a round.

Awesome Coure and Great Conditions - Amazine Place

This was my first time playing FarmLinks. I loved it. I would play this course every week if I could due to the great conditions, the awesome service and nice touches of the course as well as the spectacular setting and beautiful views.

Farmlinks is such a treat to play. The conditions are great, the staff is friendly and happy to have you there. EVERYTHING you'd want for a less than premium price. I played the RTJ courses for the prior three days and I prefer Farm Links much more than any of the RTJ courses (especially for the price of FarmLinks).

One of the best parts though is the design and playability of the course. Wide, forgiving fairways puts you in a positive frame of mind on every tee box. This course is not going to kick your butt (unlike some of the RTJ courses) but, FarmLinks will still challenge you to make the right shot and give you opportunities for birdies especially on the par 5 holes.

The par 3s on FarmLinks are some of the best I have played, especially number 5 with BEAUTIFUL views and dramatic elevation change.

FarmLinks has nice luxurious touches everywhere

- chilled apples at #1

- cold, fresh, locally grown watermelon on #5

- Cold towels delivered by the beverage cart person

- Historic markets throughout the course to provide history and the "story" to the local area

All in all, I love FarmLinks and would highly recommend to anyone.

Best ever!

My golf passion started here at Farm Links 3 years ago and today reinforced why. I live in Birmingham with lots of different courses but the drive to get here is definitely worth it (including Hwy 280).

Great resort course

A great course to go play and have some fun. Very playable and in great condition. Had a lot of rain the night before we played and through the day but the course drains really well. Great practice facilities as well.
