Kiva Dunes

I was in a 3-some of 3 decent golfers.
A FIVESOME went off in front of us, playing a scramble of some sort.
We waited on EVERY SHOT!
No Marshall anywhere in sight for the entire 5 hour round.
The 5-some had no idea on golf etiquette and made for a miserably long round.
After spending $260 for 2 of us, was disappointed in the experience.

Played several courses in the area but clearly the best of them

Overplayed, undermaintained dog track.
Pace of play was ridiculous. Every shot 5 to 10 min. wait, multiple tee boxes 20 min. wait, totally unacceptable.

Course was fine, but for some reason they saw fit to not have any signage at the tees. Very confusing if you don't know the course.

The course was in really great condition however the greens were a little firmer than I was expecting, but they rolled great and had no issues. The staff did not seem very welcoming as I stood there for a bit with 4 of them talking amongst themselves before just telling me I was good to go, they didn't offer anything or ask if I had any questions about playing there. This was the 4th time I have played here and is still my favorite course to play while in Gulf Shores area.

Price of course too high. Looks like the facility is under utilized. Great condos along 18 seemingly empty. Brought the wives out (3 couples) and had a great dinner in Kiva grill. Just erks me it’s sooo costly. We’ve played here for 20 years. I hope the under cover grows back as it was before this last Hurricane 3 yrs ago.

Course was in great condition. Many risk- reward areas to get in trouble with a driver. Several fairways were wide if you didn’t out drive them. Plenty of sand and water almost every hole. Talked to a man who had played several courses in the area and he said this one was his favorite

Kiva Dunes we’ll deserved as #1 course in Alabama. With the marsh hazards and countless sand traps, you must be on your game. Let’s not forget the multi tiered/sloped greens. It is definitely a challenging course. Will be back again to play!! Staff was very personable. A must visit course for any level of colder!!

Great layout and all.. Greens were punched maybe 1-2 weeks ago so not the best yet, Really enjoyed the round!

Had a great time, even though it was a hot day, plenty of water around the course, and drink carts ran on front and back 9!!

Great course layout and overall condition. Payed the white tees which bring lots of the bunkers into play and made for a fun round. Decent pace of play and got paired with some good folks. Bring bug spray for the practice areaS
