Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club - Marsh/Lakes Course

We played Lost Key, Kiva Dunes, Craft Farms Cotton Creek and Peninsula this week. We ended up playing Peninsula twice. For the money Lost Key is the best deal. We agreed we would rather play Peninsula vs Kiva and Craft Farms. Kiva has crazy undulations in the greens and the greens at Craft Farms are very grainy. We were rained out after the front nine and the staff quickly gave a rain check/credit good for a year. We called the following AM and they gave us a 10AM tee time and we paid extra to play a full 18. We really like Peninsula. Course was in great condition. Of the courses we played the condition of Lost Key was the best then Peninsula then Craft Farms then Kiva. We come every year for a week to play golf and spend time on the beach.

Slowest I’ve ever played a round because of overbooking with large groups

Course was in good shape. Greens were great. But they over booked the course and both the reception desk and starters were in complete confusion (poor to no communication). Very poor management and noting the large number of players I asked the desk what was the projected course play time, they told me 4:15 hours which I knew to be false. But ever the optimist I decided to play. THREE HOURS and ten holes later (5:24 hrs pace and no Marshalling) I quit the field. It’s been decades since I’ve done that. My advice, plan your tee-time accordingly and don't pay attention to what the front desk tells you. Confirm yourself with the starters. One more thing about that (Starters), there are 4-5 working at any one time and they do a poor job communicating to each other so many times information is lost and consequently your tee- time. Buyer beware.

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 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.

Got there early, had the lake course to myself. Got through 9 holes in about an hour. Got stuck behind a foursome on the Marsh course, took a bit longer. Overall a great experience. Challenging course with lots of hidden hazards.

Great layout and greens. Pace of play a little slow. 4 hours and 35 minutes to play. No Marshall. But I will be back. I could play this course every day.

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 pace of play, overall greens in great shape. Only issue was the price 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.

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.

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.
