Courses
Take
a look at the incredible selection of signature courses available to you in
beautiful Gulf Shores. Your next great golf vacation starts right here!
The
original Arnold Palmer design in Gulf Shores, Cotton Creek combines the
mystique of Palmer with Southern hospitality and charm. Always lush and green,
it's over-seeded wall-to-wall during the winter and spring making it a
must-play any time of the year.
Featuring
rolling fairways and large undulating greens, Cotton Creek is very playable from
the forward tees and a true championship challenge of over 7,000 yards from the
tips. This masterpiece was designed to challenge rather than intimidate, with
numerous risk/reward opportunities throughout.
Another
Arnold Palmer design, the newest addition to the Gulf Shores scene was recently
rated the "#1 most playable new course in the U.S." by Golf Digest
magazine. Featuring staggered tee boxes, sprawling bunkers, superb greens,
and year-round lush conditions, Cypress Bend is a masterpiece and a
"must-play" during any visit to Gulf Shores.
As
the perfect complement to the other course on the property, Cotton Creek, this
scenic beauty traverses a unique system of lakes that bring water into play on
virtually every hole.
One
of the best values in the Gulf Shores area is Glenlakes, featuring the
unforgettable links-style Dunes Course designed by former PGA star Bruce Devlin
and Robert Von Hagge.
True
to its name, the Dunes is an 18-hole championship layout with wide, rolling
fairways, bordered by the designers' hallmark mounds, leading to the large
undulating greens. From beginners to the most skilled, all golfers will fall in
love with the natural beauty, challenging shots, and wonderful service
available at Glenlakes.
Designed
by former U.S. Open champion Jerry Pate, Kiva Dunes is one of the most honored
courses in the Gulf Shores area. Named by Golf Digest as the best public
golf course in the entire state of Alabama, it has also been featured in Golf
Magazine, Senior Golf, USGA Golf Journal, LINKS, and GolfSouth.
A
true links course, Kiva Dunes is a splendid achievement lying directly on the
Gulf of Mexico. The greens are among the best anywhere and the service is what
you'd expect top-notch. Don't dare miss the chance to experience Kiva Dunes.
Arnold
Palmer created another winner with the extraordinary Lost Key, located just
across the Florida/Alabama state line in Pensacola. Lost Key's presence has
contributed to a new standard of golf on the Gulf Coast.
Challenging
and beautiful are two of the words most often used to describe it and the
personal attention of the PGA staff will make you feel spoiled. Lost Key is the
first course in the country to feature certified "Floradwarf" greens,
resulting in a smoother and faster surface more typical of Bentgrass. And each
cart comes complete with the ProShot Omni Golf System to give you critical
distances and playing tips, as well.
This
27-hole layout on beautiful Mobile Bay promises the golfer nothing short of an awesome
experience. Located on 820 secluded acres, this Earl Stone masterpiece is one
of the main reasons golfers are flocking to the Gulf Shores area. Winding its
way around and through live oaks, cypress, natural vegetation, and numerous
lakes, it's a delight to the senses and a great test for players of all skill
levels.
Don't
pass up Peninsula on your next visit to Gulf Shores. Top-notch facilities,
friendly service, and an unforgettable setting make it one of the jewels of the
area.
This 18-hole layout along the eastern shore of
Mobile is one of the standout courses in the area. Featuring some of the
highest points in Baldwin County, you just won't believe some of the incredible
changes in elevation at Rock Creek. And it all overlooks the stunning sights of
the freshwater wetlands. Tall pines and hardwoods line the fairways, enhancing
the visual effect.
Rock
Creek, located in Fairhope, is definitely one of the most enjoyable courses to
play in the Gulf Shores area. Locals and visitors alike have put it at the top
of the list for years. Come see why!
Also
located along Mobile Bay's eastern shore, TimberCreek features 27 holes for
your golfing pleasure. Another Earl Stone creation, it offers stunning views of
the rolling fairways, carved from a forest of "dogwoods,"
"magnolias," and "pines." Thus the names of the three
nines.
Abundant
are elevation changes, wetland preserves, and lots of wildlife to create that
special atmosphere to enjoy your round. Add a classic clubhouse, full-service
restaurant, and southern hospitality and you're a big winner at TimberCreek.
The
course at Soldiers Creek Golf Club was designed by Scott Clark, a former Golf
Course Superintendent at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear Alabama and the current
Superintendent at The Peninsula Golf Club in Gulf Shores Alabama. While this is
Scott's first attempt in playing the role of a course architect, it also
reveals his depth of experience in the golf course industry. The design goals
of building a course that would be enjoyable for high handicappers as well as
low handicappers was met in this design. The course features wide
player-friendly fairways. Also, water comes into play on only two holes which
makes navigating this course easier for high handicappers. A large natural turf
driving range and 10,000 square foot practice green is available as a warm-up
or practice area.
