Amazing Conditions, Immaculately Groomed Course!

If you are in the Fairway, the Lie is Always Ideal. Greens Roll Very True at a Smooth Speed that’s Fair and Consistent!

If you want to play one of the Best in Alabama, make Sure to ADD Farm Links to your List.

Top course in Alabama

Went as a final getaway with a group of friends before we leave for college. Beautiful course, friendly staff, great conditions, and a great day trip. Pursell Farms definitely went over top in terms of the over all experience for me and my group of friends. We were even chased down by a worker returning our keys to us after a friends had left us. Definitely went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience

Great course for various levels of skill

Great course that is a little off the beaten path. The course is always in fantastic shape and is a great place to play regardless off your skill level. They had an amateur tournament going on with an older group that really made play slow.,,nearly a five hour round. Overall, I love the course and look forward to playing again.

Front side fairways were wet and soggy. Pace of play was very slow, players hitting multiple tee shots on every hole. Golf cart said we were 15 minutes behind, no marshal to manage course,. Round took 5 +hours. Cart path only.

Superb in the middle of nowhere

I booked this round last minute and I’m sure glad I did! The layout is great, definitely a “second shot” course as there is plenty of room in the fairways. Some really interesting history on the course as well. Be prepared to have NO CELLPHONE reception, which was just what the doctor ordered!

My only issue is the greens. They were a bit slow for an upper tier course in my opinion. Otherwise the course is in IMMACULATE condition!! Highly recommend

Absolutely a great course to play for all skill levels. I shot my personal best and the round only took about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

A great golf course

It had rained 4.5 inches the day before we played. I was astonished at how well the course had drained and how playable it was. Only real effect we saw was the sand traps were washed out.

Great course

Awesome time. Slightly congested but that’s just because of everyone pausing to take pictures of the amazing landscape.
