About Dothan National Golf Club and Hotel

The discovery of a natural hot spring in the 1960s inspired the birth of The Dotham National Golf Club & Hotel. Its hotel and golf course were built shortly afterward. The healing waters of the spring are heated and pumped into an indoor spa pool available only for guests. All the rooms and suites have been updated. Packages can include a breakfast buffet, breakfast and lunch or dinner, too. The 7,425-yard, par-73 course lined by pines has hosted the SEC Championships multiple times.

Never Again

Sorry I hate giving reviews but I needed to talk about this one. I live in Dothan, Alabama and there are not many courses you can play so I try to support the smaller courses. This is my second time trying to play this course. The first time me and my daughter tried to play we did not make it threw five holes because the course was in awful shape. I did not comment on that one. So today I tried to play this course again and I must say the course looked 100% better. The problem was the grounds crew . Today it was wet with a overcast and I was the only person the course. I teed off at 7am . I get to the 2nd hole and there is a ground keepers riding on green. I'm thinking he will move when I hit my approach shot NOPE . He continued to ride on green even as I was putting out. So I just was like ok and went on the next hole. Then I get to hole number 5 the same guy is up by green. I am 78 yards out. The guy continues just to ride while I am standing waiting to hit up. This is not a exaggeration needless to say I never finished my round. I packed it up and left. Never again will I set foot on the grounds of DOTHAN NATIONAL GOLF CLUB.

Not bad for a Hotdeal

Course was very fluffy on the fairways and tee boxes. Greens were ok.

Always delivers!

Fairways and greens in really good shape. Playing from the blue tees really ups the challenge on a large majority of the holes. A great value to play.

First Time Playing

The lay out is really fun to play. Greens are really slow. Grass height on tee boxes are as high as rough. With all that said the lay out from tee to green is really outstanding and fun to play. Could be incredible if some more money was put into course. For 35 dollars was well worth it.

Dothan National A+++

Hats off to the crew this course has greatly improved over the past few years in course conditions. As of July 2020 I would rate it the best course in Dothan. Greens are extremely receptive and everything in great shape. Layout and experience is better than the highlands/RTJ to me, Especially when you consider value. Keep up the awesome work

Very Enjoyable Course

We live in Florida, but come to Alabama to play this course. Can't beat the rates we get on Golf Now. Nice course, and friendly staff.

Great conditions...

Recent rains have really helped the fairways. A few greens a little soggy and slower, but overall course is playing really well.

Better than I had hoped

I have no complaints about this course. It was a lot of fun to play and was challenging. Some of the holes looked easy but looks can be deceiving. Had a great time and will definitely play it again.

Great experience.

This was my first time playing here. The course was in great shape, clean, and the staff was very friendly. I had a great time and plan to come back when I’m back in town. There are no rakes in the sand traps, but they were freshly raked and not bad.

Hotdeal kind of Course

The course was average. Staff lied to me about room availability which is why I won't be back. Pretty sketchy stuff going on in the Hotel part. I would play only on a Hot deal.

Great greens. Great Value. Fairways need work.

Greens are fantastic, as good or better than most high end courses. Everything else is a little rough around the edges but they seem to working on it. By the summer it could really be a nice course. Definitely worth the money as is though, fun layout.
