Just Wow!!!!!

If there is only one course in the Birmingham area you can play, choose this one. Signature hole #5 is worth it on its own. Greens, perfect. Fairways, perfect. Views, perfect.

One of my favorite course I have ever player

This course is amazing. It exceeded my expectations. I just got done with a day at the Masters on Monday and 2 days at the RTJ trail in Opelika and this was my favorite part of the trip. 3 of the par 3s are some of the coolest par 3s I have ever played. The golf carts are amazing, the staff top notch, the restaurant had amazing food (loved the Pig Candy). I cant wait to come back. The tee boxes make this course playable for the high handicap to the scratch golfer. It has everything, although there is no way I would ever walk this course. I bet this course is so beautiful in the fall when the leaves change color.

Beyond expectations

Played Farmlinks on a girls' golf trip in Alabama, we had heard and read all of the accolades about the course and it exceeded our expectations! It is beautiful to look at and play. Played in the spring with the dogwoods and azaleas in bloom, looked like Masters in Augusta week. The course conditions were superb, the staff were most friendly. We will be back next year.

Awesome

We had a blast at Farmlinks, it is always in fantastic shape even when it hadn't had time to completely grow in yet. You get PGA tour lies every time you hit a fairway. The service is good and the people are super nice. Awesome place you must play this course.

Worth the money and time

The staff were all professional starting at the gate. Beautiful drive to club house on pleasantly winding road. Course was in great shape even though fairways were dormant. Greens were smooth and true. View from Par 3's outstanding and most difficult shots on course. Windy day that required 2 clubs (or more) adjustment. Although it was cart path only rendering the GPS on carts useless, course is marked on sprinklers and there are plenty. Will play better next time now that I have seen the course and know the layout and rolls. It is a Must Play course.

comeback

the greens have made a comeback and were a nice surprise. the bunkers for some reasons were not raked that day which was surprising because this course is usually in excellent shape. the par 3's have yardage signs which did not appear to be updated from what my laser range finder displayed.

Best in Alabama

Farmlinks is the best public course in Alabama. Perfect conditions, fun golf course to play. If you go, play at least 36 and make it a full day of golf. Very ample driving areas in the fairways, very good second shot golf course. If your iron play is on song, you'll have a great time!

Farmlinks is an amazing course with breathtaking views. It's an awesome place to get away and take in all the scenario. The layout and course condition was very nice, the different types of turf are vey cool to experience and play on. Will definitely be scheduling another trip back.

Farmlinks

Wow. This course is unreal. I was on a trip playing on the RTJ and had an off day midweek and found this course on golf now. It was in just as good if not better shape than any of the RTJ courses. It's a very fair/forgiving course and the signature par 3 hole is fantastic. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely play here. Well worth the money and the drive.

Plan for 6 hour round

Been down this road before!! This was the third time I have tried to finish a round and wound up getting a rain check. The course and facilities are fantastic and would put it up against any course I have played. However, the lack of course marshalls not managing play time makes it very frustrating when you have a 2 oclock tee time "this time of year" and you can't finish the round.
