Paddock or Old Flo is always in great shape year round. The staff is always helpful and the greens are ALWAYS rolling true even in the middle of winter. People seem to complain about the blind tee shots but I think it's what makes Old Flo a great course.

Arrived 30-40 minutes before tee time and was told to hurry and get to the first tee. (Which is a 10 minute jaunt from clubhouse). Got hooked up 3 other pretty cool guys who were just as confused as me about getting tee time bumped up. Oh well after finally finding 1st tee we all 4 hit decent drives and were all around the green after approach shots. In 40 years of golfing these are probably the WORST greens I've played. The layout is cool but every green is burnt out and has what looked like rock salt grossly over used on all greens. We just took automatical 2 putts on all greens. Maybe check it out in a few weeks but for now , there's no need to even bring your putter. It'll take a little time to get your stroke back to normal after dealing with theses eyesores.

They were running 15 minutes behind due to a corporate outing so the clubhouse guy flipped me a couple tokens for range balls. Teed off at 4:30 and never saw any other golfers except for 2 longhitters on the 2nd hole that we let play thru. The number of people that don't fix their ball marks on greens has gotten ridiculous. Not just at public courses, freaking annoying.

I made my tee time 4-5 days before I got down there. My family and I stayed on the beach about 3 miles from the course for a 10 day trip with 25 of my wives side of the family. Since all but 3 or 4 of them drive me completely nuts, I knew I'd have to play golf every other day for my own sanity. I booked 4 of my tee times on GolfNow. Kiva was the first course I played and asked my wife what time my tee time was since I was driving and on our way back from an early grocery run in the morning. She tells me 1:42, I planned on getting there an hour early to chip and putt since a friend told me they have awesome practice amenities. So before I get in the shower at 11:41, I double check exactly what time I tee off and due to my wives temporary inability to read numbers realize that my tee time was for 11:42 which meant I had 60 seconds to get there. I called the pro shop and talked to Mark and he told me no big deal if I can get there inside of 25 minutes. I get there in 15 minutes and rush down to the first tee thinking I wasn't going to warm up at all, the starter noticed I was ruffled and told me to chill out and hit balls for 15-20 minutes and he'll just send me off the backside by myself. Never saw anyone in front of me or behind me all round. To make a long story longer, it is an awesome course that I'll play every time I'm in the area. Anyone that would complain about paying $58 to play here is either cheap or has no clue what a great course looks like. I wouldn't exactly say it's the BEST course in Alabama, but it's very scenic and very playable. I don't remember the starters name but he definitely made my day.

HAD TO TAKE A COUPLE YEARS OFF DUE TO INJURIES AND FORGOT HOW FLAWLESS SPENCER T IS. FROM TEE BOX TO GREEN THE COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE. I EVEN SHOT AN 82 WHICH FOR ME IS A GREAT ROUND. PACE OF PLAY WAS GOOD AND OVERALL IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I WILL DEFINATELY BE GOING BACK.
