Overall experience worth the drive

If you have never been to Pursell Farms to play FarmLinks, you need to schedule your trip now. Great layout, good food and lodging options and even sporting clays and upland bird hunting make this a fantastic destination.

Beautiful grounds with an amazing staff! Passing through the area and had a chance to play here. Greens were punched somewhat recently, but rolled well, winter conditions very good, bunkers amazing. Chilled apples at the starter and the views from the 5th Hole - worth the price of admission. With a HotDeal it was a great value, even with winter conditions. Would love to come back in the fall when the leaves are turning.

Great course per usual but conditions were off

It had rained the day before so it was a bit wet and the course drains well so that wasn't really an issue, but it was the small things. They didn't over seed any tee boxes or fairways so they looked dead since it is winter. This place usually does everything over the top so that was a surprise. Also, the greens had been punched recently which seems really late for it being winter already, so they weren't rolling that great since the grass isn't growing that much right now. Like I said, it was smaller things, but it's stuff you would never expect from a place like this.

Stunning

From the time we passed through the gates, we were already building expectations of what lies ahead. The winding roads, manicured intersections, and beautifully arranged flowers made us feel special. Everything was well put together and made you feel at home. The staff was warm and very engaging. As for the links, simply put, a blast! I don’t recall seeing a car drive by the entire front nine. There are at least three “Kodak Moments” holes. You have to have your camera ready to remember moments like these. The greens were rolling slower this day, but I can see them speeding up quite nicely any given day. They rolled true and were consistent. One of the funnest courses I’ve played and definitely plenty of room for forgiveness off the tee box. Play it, you won’t regret it.

FarmLinks

We played FarmLinks on our 25th Anniversary for $25. Have receipts to prove it. The staff moved our tee time so we were the first group out and played in less than 3 hours. Had a nice lunch in the Pub/Grill and made it back to Birmingham before the rain washed out the remainder of the day.

My favorite course. Everyone should experience

Pursell farms is a place like no other. The condition of the course and how the staff treats guests is world class. I cannot wait to come back. Everyone should experience Pursell Atleast once in their life

Not Worth What You're Paying

This course used to be a hidden gem with no amenities other than golf and the Orvis shooting experience.

Now that they've built it into a resort-style setting they need the course to make money to pay for all of that and make it worth what it cost to build all of it. Youtube/Tiktok social media influencers are coming in from all over the country to play golf there and it's done nothing but driving the price up further.

This course used to cost $100 or so to play and you could even get out for cheaper than that during twilight.

People need to stop paying anything over $100-150 to play here. The over exaggerated "inflation" prices are more than pathetic and highway robbery compared to other courses in the southeast that are much more well kept and cost less to play.
