18 holes ok holes
This place is not very memorable… thinking back on the round not 1 hole stuck out. I will sayI believe they have tried to revamp some of the holes by adding fairway sand right in the middle… Not a good idea…. Overall… just ok
Always a joy to play here
This is a wonderful course for the money. It didn't fail to please as usual. The only issue was the greens had been plugged and heavily sanded about a week before and they were not in their typical excellent condition.
I had a burger after the 18 at the club house grill on the 2nd floor and it was terrific also.
Beautiful course
Don’t make your tee time online. They seem to look like it was an inconvenience.When I showed up, the statement was made three times “oh, you made your tee time online . We will work you in.
Friday round of golf
Course in decent shape. Would rate the Greens a 3 out 5.
Enjoyable Round
Enjoyable golf course. Not much trouble in general although there is some lateral water where you can't spray it. Some water hazards are not visible from the tee, e.g. #7, so check the layout. Forced carry on the approach on #18. Course was in good condition in spite of harsh weather this summer. The greens looked a little thin and sandy but they rolled well at reasonable speed. Bunkers were well maintained with sand not too fine and thick; I was able to hit good explosion shots from them. The tee boxes on the back nine had very thin grass and were unimpressive, but that didn't bother us as the balls were teed up. I would certainly welcome another opportunity to play Gulf Shores GC.
Great time
Course was in very good shape. Interesting layout. Everyone was friendly. Had a great time.
Good course for all level of players
Greens and fairways in great condition. Some tee boxes were overly worn. The bunkers were in good condition with quality sand. A little pricey but I was able to get a Hot Deal on GolfNow for under $70. Friendly staff. I would recommend this course to any level golfer.
I played alone, and got put behind a foursome by the starter. Took me 4 hole and an hour and half before they let me play through.
The layout of the course is great.
The course was in great shape considering there has been no rain in several days. Good value for the money.
Rough conditions
Every tee box was tore up with little areas of grass to use. Prices are nearly $100 for a course where the condition alone should make it $50 or less
Staff was nice. Course had gone down since I played 3 years ago. Greens had weeds growing on it. Made it hard to putt. Fairways were very dry.
