Kiva Dunes

Great course, I played rather badly the first time, so I came back a few days later to try again! Well designed and in a great location sandwiched between the gulf and the bay. Good practice area and clubhouse. The course is completely self contained, with no houses in play. Greens, sand, and fairways all in very nice shape. Rough mowed to very friendly height. natural vegetation and sandy areas around and between most holes was pretty, but not very friendly if your ball goes into it! Much more fun if you keep it in the fairway. Big greens with lots of undulation, so putting was not easy. Wind always a factor here. Saw a few small gators, a lot of different birds, and even a dead snake on the cart path.

Course was in amazing shape. Beautiful course & extremely well run. From check to dinneŕ after CLASS A!!! We will be back.

I’ll never not play here when we visit. Super fun course.

I’m here again today, love how true and smooth the greens are, if you can’t hit your target you can really score here. Love it

Read a bunch of reviews before playing here and it was just as advertised by the recent reviews. Saturday afternoon round with great pace of play. Tee boxes, fairways, greens were all fantastic. Tricky greens but the provided yardage book helped tremendously for a first time player here. Can’t wait to come back and play again. Watch for the Gators!

Played early afternoon and paired with another single. Conditions are great. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens in fabulous shape. Plays fair from the proper tees for your ability. Play got a little slow on the back nine, but still finished in under 4 hours. Playing here again next week. Have played all the courses in the Mobile area and by far Kiva is the best.

We golfed four courses and Kiva was by far the best.

Awesome course, wind gusts of 28 mph did everything it could to make life miserable on the course but the condition of the course made up for the weather conditions! One of the best in Alabama!

Spending the month of February at Kiva Dunes. I expected to get a heavy dose of the course and venture out occasionally to sample some of the other courses in the area.

But why bother…..

Kiva is such a joy to play. Turf conditions for this time of year are wonderful. Fairways are firm and fast, greens roll very well, tee boxes are better than average. If you miss the generous fairways you may end up in the native tree areas which are cleared of understory growth but do have many surface roots. Bunkering is both visually defining and strategically placed.

All said I’ll end up playing about 10 times this month and wishing I could’ve played Kiva Dunes every day.

Very straightforward course. Well maintained. Beautiful location. No real signature holes or anything that will surprise you. Make sure you look at how far the fairways run out on every hole or you will run through. Go play it and enjoy.
