FarmLinks at Pursell Farms

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.

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.

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.

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!

This is a beautiful immaculate course in Alabama. Rates with all the great courses around the country. The staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. This is my favorite course in Alabama.

Ive played here many times and every time the course is magnificent.

This place is majestic . Beautiful views at every turn. Now the hotel with pub and restaurant makes this place a must. Great for corporate events and great for weekend getaway.

Been playing here for years. The course was in excellent shape!

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.

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.

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).

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.

Very nice different style layout and rustic than RTJ...

Incredible course. Got to play thru dusk. Walked and took 5 hours — will say that between some holes are too long and steep climbs, but we loved and wanted to savor the ‘true golf experience’. I was disappointed they didn’t have ‘walking paths’ down the middle of fairways from the tee boxes like a true course would— especially because all other elements really preserved the LINKS feel and did feel like in the UK.

Greens were medium speed/slow but I guess expected in winter — very fair and not crazy undulating so very attachable and inviting course layout overall.

Was a delight meeting some golf now employees while receiving great hospitality from the starter and the kitchen staff (gave us free coffee on the go!!)

Greens were aerated two weeks ago and have not recovered as well as I would have expected.

All other aspects of the course were very good.

Course was well worth. The money. Pace of play was a little slow but ok.

Farmlinks is such a treat. Excellent conditioning, great staff, resort style amenities, everything you'd want for a less than premium price. The best part though is the design and playability of the layout. Width off the tee puts you in a positive frame of mind on every tee box. This course isn't going to kick you in the sack but will still challenge you to make the right shot. Green complexes are diverse enough to reward good shots and eject bad ones. I love it!

My friends encouraged me to travel to Sylacauga Al and play Farmlinks. It is more than advertised. Manicured rough, fairways were perfect, greens terrific. The course is a Norman Rockwell of golf courses. Number 5 is more than expected. The attention to service is everywhere. Prepared cups of water, Granny Smith apples, watermelon slices on the course. Wide fairways, huge greens..it may be better than Ross Bridge. Well worth the money and trip. We stayed in the Inn and it was very nice.
