Nice……..but

I wanted to love this course I really did. Top 10 in the state! But alas it was a let down. The course lacks imagination and felt boring in its layout and design. The first hole looks inviting until you reach the fairway then the flat unappealing approach sets the tone for the rest of the round. Most holes are uninspiring. Fairways that are super wide are all the rage today and farmlinks offers many. Unfortunately the wide fairways here are just that wide fairways. The best designs offer wide fairways that have speed slots, rumpled ground or even some form of deception. Now don’t get me wrong it’s still a nice course but top 10? I think not. I have played many if not most of the RTJ trail courses and all of the offer a better design than Farmlinks. The greens are relatively flat and don’t inspire much creativity. Conditions were great and the location is beautiful with the par 3 holes standing out the most. The best hole on the course was the 7th called the tree swing hole I believe. If only the entire course was as good then top 10 would be justified. As the course is , it is just another new course with great conditions that will wow the uneducated but any real golfer with experience they leave wanting more.

Friday outing

Greens had been aerated which made putting very difficult. Wish we had known that in advance. Will come back but will check condition of Greens before driving 1.5 hours.

love the farm

When we teed off, the conditions were perfect. Then, we hit No. 15 and the skies emptied on us. We played 15 through a steady drizzle, got a break on 16 and 17, then got drenched on 18. But it was still a great time. My only complaint? Someone playing ahead of us had trouble picking his fee up, leaving drag marks and scuffs all over the greens. And the greens close to the holes were pretty chewed up. I just wish people would learn how to repair a ball mark ...

Amazing Conditions, Immaculately Groomed Course!

If you are in the Fairway, the Lie is Always Ideal. Greens Roll Very True at a Smooth Speed that’s Fair and Consistent!
If you want to play one of the Best in Alabama, make Sure to ADD Farm Links to your List.

Great course for various levels of skill

Great course that is a little off the beaten path. The course is always in fantastic shape and is a great place to play regardless off your skill level. They had an amateur tournament going on with an older group that really made play slow.,,nearly a five hour round. Overall, I love the course and look forward to playing again.

Front side fairways were wet and soggy. Pace of play was very slow, players hitting multiple tee shots on every hole. Golf cart said we were 15 minutes behind, no marshal to manage course,. Round took 5 +hours. Cart path only.
