Great Value
Great venue, spent Father's Day with my boys and we had a great day. You can bomb it off the tee with wide fairways but it still requires precise iron shots to the undulating greens. Only real criticism of the course is that Holes #1 and #10 are par 5s that are almost identical. Very friendly staff and the food in the clubhouse was fantastic after the round. Don't count on drinking any alcohol on Sunday's in Talladega County but this is truly one of the public golf course gems.
Costly-Aerated
First I really like the course. But this trip was somewhat disappointing, first I booked for on the all inclusive package at $168 per person rate, when checking I was CHARGED $395 plus the $21.95 prepay amount, when questioning the price was told prices are different? Did not want to make a scene because I was treating my son. Then I was HIGHLY disappointed when after paying a higher rate than published we find the Greeens had just been AERATED AND TOP DRESSED! If I had been told I would have chosen another day. Even still should have received some sort of discount. Third pace of play was slow on the 1st 18(5 hours), but the afternoon round was agonizing, after the starter said the group in front of us was super slow, he said he would ask them to allow us through if we caught them, well we caught them on the 1st fairway and watched every shot for the entire 18(5 1/2 hours) with no one in front of them, many times we were on the tee with them without them offering to allow us to play through, never saw the Marshall again! Will have to think twice about making the 2 1/2 hour drive again to pay $420 to play aerated greens at 5+ hour pace!
Hi u000006328188,
We appreciate your feedback and apologize that the greens were just aerated and pace of play was slower than normal. We are constantly working on addressing internal issues within the course and can assure you that we are doing everything within our power to improve them! We are sorry to hear that you won't be coming back to play here again soon but hope that you reconsider and allow us to provide you with the normal excellent golfing experience!
Sincerely,
Farmlinks at Pursell Farms Golf Course Management

Hidden Gem”
While you seem to drive forever into the country, you will be glad you did! The course condition is second to none, you feel like you are playing on your personal private course. The driving range, and short game practice area is superb. Worth the time and money to come play this hidden jewel!!!

Just Wow!!!!!
If there is only one course in the Birmingham area you can play, choose this one. Signature hole #5 is worth it on its own. Greens, perfect. Fairways, perfect. Views, perfect.

One of my favorite course I have ever player
This course is amazing. It exceeded my expectations. I just got done with a day at the Masters on Monday and 2 days at the RTJ trail in Opelika and this was my favorite part of the trip. 3 of the par 3s are some of the coolest par 3s I have ever played. The golf carts are amazing, the staff top notch, the restaurant had amazing food (loved the Pig Candy). I cant wait to come back. The tee boxes make this course playable for the high handicap to the scratch golfer. It has everything, although there is no way I would ever walk this course. I bet this course is so beautiful in the fall when the leaves change color.
Dear smmaddalena,
We are delighted to hear that our course has exceeded your expectations! We love to hear of your anticipation to return. You will have to come check out the scenery in the fall when the leaves change!

Beyond expectations
Played Farmlinks on a girls' golf trip in Alabama, we had heard and read all of the accolades about the course and it exceeded our expectations! It is beautiful to look at and play. Played in the spring with the dogwoods and azaleas in bloom, looked like Masters in Augusta week. The course conditions were superb, the staff were most friendly. We will be back next year.
Debheckenberger,

Awesome
We had a blast at Farmlinks, it is always in fantastic shape even when it hadn't had time to completely grow in yet. You get PGA tour lies every time you hit a fairway. The service is good and the people are super nice. Awesome place you must play this course.

Worth the money and time
The staff were all professional starting at the gate. Beautiful drive to club house on pleasantly winding road. Course was in great shape even though fairways were dormant. Greens were smooth and true. View from Par 3's outstanding and most difficult shots on course. Windy day that required 2 clubs (or more) adjustment. Although it was cart path only rendering the GPS on carts useless, course is marked on sprinklers and there are plenty. Will play better next time now that I have seen the course and know the layout and rolls. It is a Must Play course.

comeback
the greens have made a comeback and were a nice surprise. the bunkers for some reasons were not raked that day which was surprising because this course is usually in excellent shape. the par 3's have yardage signs which did not appear to be updated from what my laser range finder displayed.
Hi pdaddy73,

Best in Alabama
Farmlinks is the best public course in Alabama. Perfect conditions, fun golf course to play. If you go, play at least 36 and make it a full day of golf. Very ample driving areas in the fairways, very good second shot golf course. If your iron play is on song, you'll have a great time!
December Golf
FarmLinks Golf Club was a great experience first class. For December in Alabama, and the growing season ended. The course was in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly..
