Golfnow gem

I got a $45 rate through golf now which made this a steal! The standard $85 rate is well worth what you get at this course. The fairways and greens are better than Ross Bridge. Beautiful scenery. Nothing but good things to say.

Best fairways on Earth, fun, scoreable design

Played our annual guys trip here for 5 rounds over the weekend. Lodging is excellent, with very very nice houses fronting the course. Top of the line golf carts are a nice touch, as are free snacks and soft drinks as part of all inclusive package. Service was friendly but extremely slow for meals. That said, the food was best I have ever had at a golf facility. As an agronomic teaching facility, the conditions are World class. The fairways are absolute carpet with perfect lies. Greens excellent (although like many Southeastern courses, they lost their collars, which were being replaced). Tees perfect. We got bombed with thunderstorms twice and the course drained so amazingly well that you couldn't tell it had rained 5 minutes later. My club would've been flooded. The layout is a blast and great for high handicaps and beginners (although advanced players certainly enjoy as well). There are no bunkers or hazards immediately fronting any green except for 5 and 17. This allows players to bounce the ball up with forgiving results. Wonderful experience but they should review their outside alcohol policy. We bought a case of Miller Lite ($50?!?!) for the cabin (to follow the rules), and it was brought to us WARM, which kind of defeats the purpose. But that was about the only negative. Highly, highly recommend this great facility (practice areas excellent as well).

Saturday Special

Course in Good shape. Did not get paired up with anyone as there was a small issue with the group that was supposed to have an opening. Played through 7 groups, all gentlemen, to get finished. Other than that small issue a great value for that caliber of course.

Simply breathtaking

I have had the pleasure of playing numerous courses in Alabama incl. several RTJ courses. This is the best course by light years as far as greens, fairways, etc... Actually had to feel the grass because it looked and felt like AstroTurf!! For the money, hands down it doesn't get better. Staff is extremely friendly and clubhouse resembles a Cracker Barrel. The best kept greens and fairways, and if you play it once you will be there twice!! Well worth any drive to get there!!' Par 3's very tough due to elevations but that just adds to the fun!

Beautiful Golf Course

Very much enjoyed playing Farm Links with my brothers. A beautiful course that is fun to play even in wet conditions. Spacious fairways with playable rough. Wonderful par three's. The down home hospitality and quaint location makes Farm Links one of the best courses that I have played.

On the links

It was a great golf course. The greens were in great shape. It was challenging due to length but still able to hit good shots. It was wet due to a lot of rain recently which means cart path only but that protects the course. I enjoyed the day.

Very Pleasing

Very pleasing is the best way to describe this course. Some really scenic holes. and all the holes are spread out to the point they you could never hit in another fairway. The course is on parsell farms, and It is spread over many acres. The green fee may be alittle steep, but other than that I highly recomend playing there.

A Mid 80 Player Review

Worth the hour's drive from B-Ham. When in B-Ham, will be heading back to Farmlinks. RTJ would like to have this in their mix. Front 9 better than back 9....in terms of look and feel. All 18 greens were true. I would say that today's pin placement was more on the easy side. I can see some of them being tougher. Some of the holes remind me of Broken Arrow or Gunter's Landing.....your a mile high hitting toward the green. Overall, a great day!

Why play anywhere else?

This course is fantastic. The drive thru the property to the course sets up a beautiful day of golf. The range is beautiful and big enough to accommodate 50+ golfers. The course is in great shape. It is a difficult course but fair. I would pay double to play here versus any other course within a day's drive.

Dissapointing

I played here again in a tournament. I was disappointed in the obvious lack of attention paid to the course for a tournament day. The bunkers were hard and packed, with old footprints, and were not raked prior to play for some time. The greens were obviously not mowed in a couple of days, and played very slow and bumpy. Farmlinks has a great reputation, but it was not evident on this tournament day.

Best around!

This was my second time playing here and it was just as majestic as the first. The overall experience here is second to none for a public course. Although the course was soggy from several consecutive days of rain, it was playable, whereas most wouldn't have drained nearly as well. The surrounding landscape and picturesque views are worth the trip. If you're within driving distance, make the trip!

One of the top courses in the state

One of my favorite places to play in Alabama. The only reason I didnt give course 5 stars is because it has been raining more than usual and fairways were muddy. The facilities are great, staff is friendly , and it's a very private course off the beaten path. It's a diamond out in the ruff. Farm links is a very secluded course and the best get away for golf and relaxation. The only thing the property lacks is a spa. They could really turn this place into a getaway resort for couples looking for a mini vacation. The practice facilities are second to none as they also use top rated range balls. If they had membership I would definitely join. Farm Links is a must!

Farmlinks Visit

I played in a fourball at Farmlinks and was very fortunate with the weather. The course was in great condition, staff were extremely freindly and accomodating and we all had a great day.
This was my second time playing the course and enjoyed it very much. I would recommend this course to any serious golfer to take up the challenge and enjoy a wonderful course.

Farmlinks

Excellent maintained course. Played solo on a cool December morning. Got around in under 3 hours even with reading the many historic markers explaining the history of the farm land this course was constructed on. Par 3's are incredible, including one drop of 175 feet. These are marked with "plays like" yardage taking into account the changes in elevation and taking the guesswork out of club selection. Very enjoyable.

A Country Man's Paradise

The rumors of this place had me interested from the get go. What man wouldn't want to golf & hunt on the same day? To say this place is special is an understatement. Even their tee markers are pretty cool. They have cabins you can rent out and is perfect for a guys weekend retreat. I highly reccommend giving FarmLinks a try.... be sure to check out the Man Cave, it's a treat.

A MUST PLAY!

FarmLinks is easily one of the best golf courses I have ever seen. Everything about this place is fantastic. The facility itself is very impressive and my favorite hole was #5. This downhill Par 3 is one of the coolest holes in golf. Make sure to take a few pictures here of the view.

Overall, I would recommend FarmLinks to anyone looking for an incredible golf experience. It is simply unbelievable. Will be back many times for some more fun!
