Great Round
Was a single and was paired with a twosome (members). Great guys and they made the round fun. Was here on vacation and the weather was terrific. Course was in great shape and staff at check in was very friendly.. Was originally scheduled to play at 928 and checked in and that was confirmed. After warming up some on the range the starter came up and asked me my name and then he told me I was going off at 920. I told him I was at 928 and he grumbled that he had me at 920. I said no problem I can go off early, but that I reserved 928. I dont think he liked to have his God complex challenged. I wrapped up my range session and went to the first tee and have a great round. Never saw the starter again, which was nice.
Great Course
Very friendly staff. Course is in really great shape. Nice fairways and very good greens. Definitely will play it again.
One of the best courses I've played .It was a great experience!
Amazing Experience
Course was in amazing condition compared to what other courses look like currently. First time playing a course that cost over a hundred to play. Did not disappoint was worth every penny. Would highly recommend lives up to its top reviews.
Nice course , staff was very pleasant, ranger came by and explained why the back 9 would be playing slower, the greens had been aerated recently but by another week will be in excellent condition. I will play this course again.
Fun
Excellent course. Great staff I enjoy the mix of water grasses, trees and rough. Makes one think. Not easy but super fun.
Great Staff
We had big expectations for our 1st time at Kiva Dunes. The staff and amenities were terrific. Pace of play was a bit slow, really got backed up on the back 9. The ranger tried to move things along, but it was a long hot day.
The course routing is a bit generic, with only a few really good holes. No bad holes, but nothing that really stood out. Was hoping for better views. For the price, there are better tracts in the area.
Love the course!
4star in lieu of course being recently aerated. Staff alerted us beforehand so no surprises with that issue. Great time had!
Great Course, Great People
Loved this layout and resort feel. I came to Kiva as a guest staying down the road with family. They were fantastic. They meet at the car and help with the clubs, range is included and cart is included which are huge perks. The grass and overall quality were great. Not a single issue here. Thanks for the great course Kiva!
Love Kiva!
Tee time was 730, it was overcast but never rained. Course was in fantastic shape! No GPS on carts so bring your own. Round was 4:15, pretty good for a resort course. Greens were perfect.
Wonderful course
Course was in great condition, very friendly staff
Just amazing
I've always played a different course in the city every time I visit, but Kiva was fabulous. It is definitely in my rotation now.
Good shape
Course was in excellent shape greens rolled true. Staff was friendly. Cart girl was excellent and made several rounds. Have tonwatch out for the gators. Had a great round, will play it again
Kiva Dunes Review
Staff was excellent starting with someone greeting us in the parking lot and taking our bags and putting them on a cart. Practice facilities were tremendous. The starter got us off on our schedule tee time and paired us with a great guy. Pace of play was great and our round took four hours. Course conditions were very good considering the time of year. Plus the greens were firm and putted true. Would definitely recommend this course to other golfers.
Awesome
The course was unbelievable. It was in great shape the greens rolled really true. The staff other than the Marshall was extremely friendly!
Great layout and challenge.
Great layout and challenge. Pay attention to shot selection on the cart GPS. Even though it rained on 6 holes, course drained fast.
