Little slice (pun intended) of heaven

Once you take her to Paris she won’t go back to the farm. Also once you take him to FarmLinks he won’t go back to his local muni. This place is deluxe. If you have the means I highly recommend picking up a round here. It is so choice.

Love it

Great people with a great layout and conditions. New snack shop before the 10th is a huge upgrade. A beautiful building and a nice touch of class. Played in about 3 hours. I love this place. Nothing better than a day at Pursell Farms.

Superb Experience

FarmLinks never lets you down - always in great shape. Course design makes you use all your clubs. Nice variety of challenges and opportunities during the entire round. Staff exemplifies Southern Hospitality

Very nice course, but pricey

The course was in pretty great shape. Pretty much what you should expect for a $150-300/tee time course.

Greens, fairways, and rough were all in great shape - especially since we played right after a tournament. Greens rolled true and fast. My only note is the tee boxes: some are great, some are burnt out and severely chunked up, some were fluffy and needing trimmed. Ultimately a great course with only one very minor flaw that we noticed. Staff was very nice and helped us get around since we were first timers. Facilities were beautiful and well maintained.

Even a beginner can navigate this course with caution. Pretty open and playable for all experience levels.

Incredible Course

World class bent grass greens. Would play regularly if it were less expensive, standard weekday rates are too high.

Great Golf Venue

Outstanding course in many ways: immaculate grounds conditions, incredible variety of golf holes (from meadows to mountains), challenging but very fair, entire course is aesthetically pleasing while a number of holes are absolutely stunning. Booked through Golf Now, at a "Hot Deals" rate. Worth every penny!

Disappointing Round

For the top ranked public course in Alabama, it was a major let down. From the rental clubs that were over 90 dollars to the golf cart that ran out of power to the atrocious pace of play (no Marshall to be found), the list is way too long for this price point!

The layout had several unique holes, but on the whole was not as expected, The conditions were superb and the greens were great; however, factoring in all the other negatives it was not worth the very high price tag!

Very nice course!

Course was in great shape coming out of winter and no rain for a while. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Price is a little high in my opinion. Was gonna grab a beer but they wanted $10 for a Miller Lite! I believe they can do a little better than that, overall good experience.

The Good and Bad

Played this track and found it to be in excellent condition. Greens were smooth and fast and the fairways were very well maintained. Tee boxes were excellent. Carts seemed relatively new. My issue (and maybe it’s just me), this course is in the middle of no where. We played on a Wed and they were not crowded at all so pace was great. However at $229 per round, I think you can find courses that are close to the same quality at half the rate. I have difficulty recommending g to a friend based on the price

Idyllic setting with top notch amenities

Greens are in fantastic condition, even in February. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Practice range has everything, including complimentary balls and alignment sticks. The starter sends you off with water, towels, and even apples. The course is in great shape and provides drama on several par threes. I always find something to bring home from the pro shop/mercantile store.

Excellent as always

From the moment you get on the property, everything is beyond expectation. The staff is helpful and friendly. The golf course is always in top condition. Can’t say enough about this place, if you haven’t played it it is definitely worth the trip.
