Pursell Farms

Played this beauty on a trip to Destin Fl from NC. A buddy convinced me to head towards Birmingham on my way home- So glad I did!!!! Better than most - if not all of the Trent Jones Trail courses - peaceful- beautiful- serene!!! Coming back in the fall with group of 16!!! Please note- I live in Pinehurst NC & appreciate world class golf- Farm Links is worth the hastle of getting there!!!

I would pay the money to play this course. It’s worth every penny

Great course and facility. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I rated the course as 4 star due to the poor condition of sand traps. I was surprised at the lack of sand and washed out condition. Of the traps.

This is a great place for a guy trip. We rented one of the cabins for a weekend and it is top notch. This was our second trip. Expensive all around so be prepared. The course quality is awesome. The fairways were incredible. Very tight cut. Greens were true. Covid did takeaway from the overall service because there was less interaction with staff this year.

Just played today and I was put together with two other players. Pretty full roster of players but pace of play was really good. I didn’t wait more than 2 minutes at any time today and we were sandwiched between two foursomes. The conditions here are second to none on this meticulously maintained course. A real showplace of greens and predictable speed of greens. Cant recommend more highly.

Beautiful presentation of golf on a great piece of land with elevation changes. Enough said.

The late Jim Nabor's golf course lived up to its advance billing. The fairways are wide open and as good as any I've ever played. Hardly any rough to speak of...maybe in rough once all day. Sand traps are strategically placed so you just can't bomb away all day.

Greens were a little slower than what I am used to, so I had a hard time getting downhill putts to the hole. Other than that, they were in great shape.

The par 3's were great and the signature #5 maybe the weakest of the bunch as the 175 foot fall makes it a little gimmicky for my tastes. #18 a great finishing Par 5 and #6 is a true Par 4 1/2---something every course should have.

My only complaint is that the range was beat up. With all the land that is available, please put in more hitting areas.

Great course and beautiful tee to green. People need to quit being lazy and replace their ball marks.

It was cart path only so there was way too much walking required. The course was in good shape except for the sand traps which were in bad shape because of recent rain. It is very difficult to get proper yardages to the hole because there is no color coded flag system in use. You will definitely need a range finder. My chief complaint is the price. My hot deal price was $65 which has increased to $74. I assume the rack rate is even higher. In my opinion, the course should be priced around $45. The course is in the middle of nowhere.

I have a few buddies that made the trip from ATL to play the course. They all said gave the same response when i asked them about their experience, "YOU HAVE TO GET OUT THERE". I finally had an opportunity to see what the hype was all about and it didn't disappoint! The clubhouse overlooks the 18th & a massive practice facility. I arrived in plenty of time to check in with the proshop and hit a few balls to warm up. I would definitely recommend getting there early enough to check out the practice areas as it gives you a preview of how plush & tightly mowed the fairways on the course will be. The bent greens rolled true but were alot slower than what i'm used to putting on at my home course. The layout is super forgiving off the tee(BOMBERS PARADISE) but there are a few holes out there you can take on trouble to shorten and create a better angle on your approach shot. The view on the teebox at #5 is unbelievable and #12 is a fun driveable par 4 and a good shot at birdie/eagle. The conditions from tee to green were spectacular! Will definitely be returning!

Great time playing golf. Beautiful grounds surrounding the course. Wide fairways and manicured grass. So much fun!
