Rgoswald

This is a very nice course with reasonable rates. I’ve played here during the winter the past few years. However, on this occasion I was very disappointed in the pace of play. Apparently, the course allows fivesomes to play. When I asked about this I was told “ fivesomes are allowed as like ng as they can play at the pace of a foursome.“ That is a stupid answer. A fivesome cannot physically play as fast as a foursome. However, I would be satisfied if they at least could keep up with the group ahead of them. I saw one ranger on the course but that certainly did not solve the problem. I also saw at least one sixsome playing. This is ridiculous. A bottle neck was created that really took away from the enjoyment of the round. When I asked about it at the turn, the starter merely said “there are a lot of people on the course. There are no there is no place for them to go.” If they have a Ranger out actively working with the golfers it will improve the pace of play.

The course was in great shape especially for this time of year. There are a couple of soft spots but after the heavy rains of the past week that was to be expected. The staff here is also excellent, very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend playing here if you are in the Gulf Shores area. This is a high-quality facility that you can play at a much lower price then the other very high-end courses you can find in the area.

Although you couldn't beat the price I found on golf.now, the course conditions have declined since I played it last year. The layout is good, with some interesting holes that have adequate challenge. The greens were only OK. The fairways were in poor shape. Some of the sand traps are fine while others had some weeds growing in them. Overall, a place to go to get in a round of golf at an inexpensive price, but for now, not a destination location.
