Glenlakes Golf Club - Vista/Dunes Course
Played On 10/01/2018Best Course for the Money in the Gulf Shores Area
You can find several rounds with this course under $30 throughout the week. The course is always in great condition. The layout is way above average but not quite in the elite range. it's a 27 hole course but the back 9 is a short executive style layout. The Two front 9's are plenty challenging from the back tee's.
There is plenty of water, bunkers, and elevation to test your skills. The back tee's play just under 7,000 yrds. There were open boxes at the tips that could have added another few hundred yards. For the money, this is one of the better courses around.
Heritage Golf Links - Legacy Nine
Played On 08/02/2018Not Far From Amazing
The layout of this course was just short of fantastic. I played all 27 holes. The Legacy and Heritage were by far the better of the 3. The Tradition felt more like a beginners course. It was in good shape however. It did feature 3 par 5's but the par 4's were extremely short.
There were a few tee boxes on each 9 that needed some work but that didn't bother me. It was just a matter of moving to a different area of the box. Many Bermuda courses had a shock to the growth chart this spring with a couple weird late freezes. The par 3 boxes were all in good shape which was more important.
The greens rolled true, even after a recent aerification. I did notice quite a few pock marks as mentioned in previous reviews. I can't blame the course for that. Golfers need to take responsibility and fix their own ball marks. I tried fixing a few extra myself.
Just a little extra Love in some areas and this course could rival any other in its class. I found a HOT DEAL for $35 in the mid morning and it was worth every penny. I would have paid more.
Glenlakes Golf Club - Vista/Dunes Course

Always in good shape. Hard to find 27 hole layouts. Vista and Dunes are my favorite. The Lakes layout is nice but the older bermuda greens are slow. Great course overall. Especially for the price.
