Excellent Course

Farmlinks is a very nice course with excellent facilities. There is a very nice practice area with range, putting green and sand traps. The course is open with wide fairways and very nice views. The only criticism I have is that the greens were a little slow. I would definitely play here again. It is one of the nicer courses I have played. It is comparable in quality to the RTJ courses in AL.

Heaven on earth

Played this beauty on a trip to Destin Fl from NC. A buddy convinced me to head towards Birmingham on my way home- So glad I did!!!! Better than most - if not all of the Trent Jones Trail courses - peaceful- beautiful- serene!!! Coming back in the fall with group of 16!!! Please note- I live in Pinehurst NC & appreciate world class golf- Farm Links is worth the hastle of getting there!!!

It was cart path only so there was way too much walking required. The course was in good shape except for the sand traps which were in bad shape because of recent rain. It is very difficult to get proper yardages to the hole because there is no color coded flag system in use. You will definitely need a range finder. My chief complaint is the price. My hot deal price was $65 which has increased to $74. I assume the rack rate is even higher. In my opinion, the course should be priced around $45. The course is in the middle of nowhere.

Excellent course

Pace of play was a lot slower due to the course being wet and cart path only. Course is in great shape for being late in December and all the rain that we have gotten.
Downhill par 3's are fantastic!

Great Course

This is the best course in Alabama in my opinion not only for the physical layout but also because of the friendliness of the staff.

Excellent course

FarmLinks at Pursell Farms is a fantastic golf course. Played it for the first time last week and it definitely impressed. Some great picturesque downhill par 3s that factor the slope into the yardage that is listed on the tee box. The course is overall very playable with large greens and fairways and I was able to play the entire round without losing a golf ball, which is always a plus. The greens were recently aerated m, which happened two weeks prior to our round, and were still in the process of healing, being late in the year. The course offered a slightly discounted rate because of this. All in all, I would definitely recommend the course if you haven’t played it before. This one is a twice-a-year play for me despite living in Nashville! Thanks!

Favorite course in Alabama

Farm Links is an incredible golf course. Pro’s: fantastic layout, scenic, peaceful. Con’s: the day we played it was cart path only, greens had just been aerated so they were very sandy. I did get a discounted rate b/c of the aeration. Normally, this course is more expensive than I want to pay. The course doesn’t seem to drain very well. Bottom line, Farm Links is amazing, but normally too steep for me.

Absolutely stunning!

My new favorite course!! This course and the property is absolutely stunning. I cannot believe I've lived in Alabama for more than 20 years and only recently stumbled across this place. The entire course is immaculate and is very fun/fair and challenging. The par 3's make it spectacular with amazing views. This was my first time here but certainly will not be my last. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive and I'll be planning it several times a year.

FarmLinks is superb

What an experience! Perfect course conditions. Zoysia fairways were like carpet. Greens were perfect except for inconsiderate players not repairing their ball marks. Range balls were high quality Titleist. Nice chipping and bunker practice stations. Great scenery. This is the way golf should be! Recommend very highly. A perfect 10. And the staff stuck the landing!
