Best of the best

Farmlinks is a 5-star experience all the way around. I’ve played many courses and this is the best of the best. Incredible setting, perfect course layout, and immaculate greens make this a must play.

Low this layout

I have played in the fall. This time played in summer. The course was in great shape. It was hot but I was expecting it. They had bottle water at multiple location around the track. At turn chilled apples, water , ice available for cooler. This was my favor place to play little drive from Birmingham. Maybe I would consider staying play option in future. This is a 10.

Wow!

I’ve always wanted to play this course after seeing YouTube videos. It did NOT disappoint! The fairways and greens were in great condition. Water bottles and ice were provided throughout the course. They even had chilled apples at the turn. Highly recommend!

The YouTube hype is overstated

Middle of nowhere courses usually go one of two ways, a great value or entirely overpriced. I played this course at the tail end of 19 other top public access courses in Alabama, and while it was quite nice, all things considered, it's not a 150+ green fee course in the least. Not when the RTJ Trail courses are basically all well under 100 with the Trail Card and a good number of them are much more interesting tracks than this one.

This place is no Streamsong or Pinehurst unique, and even those places are beyond wildly overpriced. Welcome to America, the land of predatory pricing and commoner fleecing since 1913.

The Judge at Capitol Hill blows this place out of the water, as does Cambrian Ridge, both courses at Grand National, Ross Bridge, Highland Oaks, and my favorite course in the whole state for elevation changes - Gunter's Landing.

Best in state public course - heck no. Not for free and certainly not for what they're charging. Hot deals for 120, ya, no sorry Shlomo.

If they didn't make it a whole resort experience with a higher end hotel for the well heeled and a bunch of non golf related activities, and comp'd some YouTubers to promote the course, this place would be on life support.

With all this said, it's a nice course in great condition overall, but fairly easy from tee to green for a scratch player, even from the tips. Resort courses = wide fairways so people have FUN.... Yaayyyy FUN.

I played alone, and am a +2, so if I don't score well, fun is hard to come by. Come play with your buddies and you'll have a great time. It's worth the drive if you can afford the overly steep green fees. Otherwise, for something truly unique go to Gunter's Landing. Even Ballantrae is more interesting a track and definitely a better value.

No Hot Deals

This is by far my favorite course to play while on golf trips to Alabama, but every time I try to book on Golf Now or Tee Off it always comes back as an error has occurred or tee time no longer available. If Pursell doesn’t want to offer these specials then they should be removed from the apps.

Pursell Farms is excellent

Enjoyed the round even in the face of 5.5" of rain the night before and windy conditions. Layout of the course was excellent with no blind shots. Extra elevation and cart path only lead to extra exercise. Greens were immaculate, receptive and rolled smooth. It's $150 worthy.
