dead dried grass

I rented clubs and paid for 18 holes,but the course grass was 100% dormant ($225.00). I can understand why a golf course in this area of florida can charge this much $$$, but i wont be going back. Club house employees were great .

Winter Golf Splurge

Winter trip with a buddy hoping to get in a few warmer weather rounds than Tennessee could offer. Weather turned out to be chilly but not too unpleasant. Staff was very friendly. For the price we paid it was disappointing that range balls are no longer included with the fee. Starter told us that the course sold a couple years ago and new ownership started charging extra for range balls. Course was in great shape. Will probably play again on next trip down south but high cost will always be a potential deterrent, especially with several other nice courses in the area.

One of the nicer courses in the area.

Played this course in late December. Greens were in excellent shape, fairways in very good shape. Challenging for a bogy golfer.

As it usually is the course is well maintained and the greens speedy. The best golf course in Gulf Shores hands down. The beer is cold in the grill.

Nice Place to Play

There are 3 nine hole courses to play. The staff was very friendly.
The course is forgiving.and well maintained.
The only thing is you don’t get back to the clubhouse after playing 9. They do have a cart girl, but with limited food options.

Great day of Golf

Fairways, greens, tee boxes - were in great shape. Pace of play was too slow, and there really were not many people out there. Maybe someone on the course telling folks to speed it up would have helped.

Excellent Experience!

Drove up, guys came out to vehicle and loaded our bags on cart, let us know where everything was. Went in pro shop to check in. Friendly staff. Courteous and quick. Range was in great shape. Lots of turf to hit off of. Practice putting greens in excellent shape. Starter came and courteously asked us our name. We had a tee time at 9:10. Offered us to tee off early at 8:50. Said sure. Course conditions were fantastic. Fairways plush, greens rolled very well. Cart girl came by about every 4 holes. Marshalls all over course ensuring good pace of play and offering ice cold towels. We were two-some and played in 3:10 minutes. Just a great experience. Definitely will go back to play.

Exceptional Golf Course!!!

We played the Cypress/Marsh rotation today and the course conditions were phenomenal. Fairways were manicured and the ball sat up nicely. Rough was thick and deep. The course drains very well as we have had a couple inches in the last few days. We were the last tee time so we had no issue with the pace of play. Staff was great and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this layout to anyone wanting a superb golfing experience!

Course lies and has hidden feed

Do not play here as they tell you one price on the phone and then when you get there, it’s another price. I can’t believe playing in golf Shores Alabama would cost $170.00. There are too many courses around here to charge that much. Then they charge you a fee if you use a credit card and $10 to get range balls.. On top of that, they do not even offer any water while you are golfing or anywhere on the course. Worst club ever for $170!

Fantastic course

Well worth the money, after our terrible round last year on vacation this place was an extremely excellent upgrade, course was in fantastic condition for mid June, really good pace of play, the rangers and starter were all great as well as the cart girls. No complaints here at all

Peninsula course. Marsh front 9, cypress back 9

Amazing course. Built on 14 ft of sand so a monsoon doesn’t even leave puddles on the course. The conditions in the pictures below are 2 hours after a 3 hr rain storm.

Amazing staff! Greens on the marsh were aerated a couple weeks ago but they look good now. Cypress greens were PERFECT. Rolled true, fast.. but you could still spin the ball how you needed to get to the tight pins.

Not worth it.

For $150 dollars I can’t believe I had to pay extra for range balls. The Cyprus 9 was I great shape, but the Lakes greens were covered in sand. It’s irritating that the practice greens were nothing like either 9 we played.
