Worth a visit

I have played this course previously and once again did not disappoint. Course is exceptionally well maintained. Manageable course but if you spray off the tee bring a few extra balls. Very enthusiastic employees. Do not hesitate to play here.

Wonderful conditions / Wonderful staff

This is a very nice course. Layout of the practice greens and range is very user friendly. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Huge greens so pay attention to the pin placement sheet and/or make sure to bring a range finder. The greens hold well and are smooth. Course is not particularly well marked with yardages. Courses of this quality and high green fees typically have GPS on the carts but not here. We played the Cypress and Lakes 9's.
My biggest negative is the course yardage between the second and third set of tees. Nearly 800 yardage difference between the two. Either 5700 yards or 6500 yards. They could blend the holes from each to make a course that fits the average golfer around 6100-6200 yards.. Overall a pricy but beautiful course. A treat to play.

Best course in Gulf Shores

Course is in great shape with super friendly staff. Only negative is that we had to follow a 5 somme in the back half making for a slow 9 holes. If I was a member I certainly wouldn't be impressed that they let 5 guys go out together.

Just a great place to play golf.

Spent the month of February here at the Gulf Shores and this was the best course we played by far. The rough was overseeded with Rye so the course was green everywhere. Greens were great and the staff was superb.

Excellent fairway condition

Best fairway turf in the area, maybe a little dry in spots. Very large greens remarkably weed free and faster than h_____.Some tees a little scruffy but it's winter.

Marsh / Lakes / Cypress

A friend and I played all the nines at the Peninsula course on 12/05/23. I do have to admit before I get started that this course is probably one of the prettiest courses I have ever played. Each nine has water, marsh and sand that will come into play on errant shots. There are more houses on the Lakes and Cypress nines than the Marsh nine, but they really aren’t in view. The greens are large, firm, fast and have many undulations to them. The course was in excellent condition from tee to green. I will have to say my favorite nine was the Lakes nine and my favorite holes on the entire course were Marsh #5, 6 and 7. Cypress #1, 4 and 6. Lakes #1, 2, 3, 7 (Great view from the back tee, even if you do not play it, with the bay to your left) and #8. The entire staff inside and out were very friendly and professional. If I’m in the area again I would not hesitate to play this course again. Do yourself a favor and have a drink on the patio outside looking over the pond and a view of the first hole on Marsh #1.

Peninsula @ Gulf Shores

27 terrific holes of Golf.
Exceptional putting surfaces, Fairways were in good condition, being totally honest some of the tees (set 3) were getting a little threadbare but this could be due to a lot of traffic, change of grasses or a consequence of lack of rain.
Its important to choose the correct length of Course for your ability as it plays long.
All the staff encountered were very efficient and friendly.
Definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the area!

Sweet Home Alabama

My wife and I played the Marsh and Cypress courses this past Thursday and had a GREAT time.

The course was obviously well-maintained, beautiful, and generally outstanding. But what took the entire experience to an even higher level were the people at Peninsula. From the clubhouse personnel to the starters and marshals, and even the other golfers, everyone was genuinely nice. As a native of the coast who now lives in Arkansas, I get the whole "southern hospitality" marketing phrase thing, but this was real.

We're already planning out next visit to Peninsula

Great Course!

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Quality conditions were to be expected and absolutely delivered for the price point. The greens were well maintained and rolled smoothly. Though the price point was intimidating for a mid-high handicapper like myself, I absolutely would've felt comfortable taking a beginner with me. Nothing pretentious or self-important about this place at all. Great experience!
