Golf Course in Orange Beach

Peninsula is in FANTASTIC shape and they treat you like gold!

Soldier’s Creek- Never played it, but it is owned by the Woerner’s (Turf company), so I assume the grass is green.

Peninsula- If you are going to drive there, play Kiva Dunes.. if you can’t afford it, play Gulf Shores Golf Club (now known as “The Wharf”), but if you play Peninsula, enjoy an apple from the barrel between nines.

The Wharf- Great course, one of my favorites in Alabama. Difficult layout, but fair.

Craft Farms- Nice but nothing special. You will leave your round and say “wow, that was a well-kept course, but something I could have played in Baton Rouge.” That statement applies to both courses.

Kiva Dunes- It is the quintessential gulf coast golf course. It’s just off the beach and is home to some of the most picturesque holes in the South. It is unbearably difficult from the tips with the wind, but from up a tee, it becomes manageable and fun. It is always in good shape and has an excellent practice facility.

Perdido Bay Golf Club- Nice, but difficult. It is in close proximity to Lost Key.

Lost Key- known as Lost Ball. That should tell you everything you need to know.

GlenLakes Golf Club- you can book four people for like $17 a person. It’s a nice course as well. Definitely the best bang for your buck, by far.

Great course for the money.

I like to play that, then Peninsula the following day.

SC was also the first place I ever took my daughter out for 18 holes. Fell asleep on 18's fairway, so she doesn't have an official score for that round.

awesome

I really don't enjoy Kiva.

i'm heading down next week. Probably will hit up KD

Gulf Shores Golf Club was a fun course, very nice. Pricey, but that may be the norm down there.

I recommend making the drive to Fairhope and playing Rock Creek.

I think its called the Glen Lakes is where it's at. I got a hot deal off of Golf Now for $19 a person and its the best course I've played for that kind of money. Back nine has some very interesting approaches.

You're right about the value, but I didn't love it. If you don't want to spend a Ben Franklin then yeah. I played the state park on Golfnow for like $25 and thought it was way better. That was during the fall, though, so may be more now.

I played craft farms and by the time we got to 16 we were all ready to just go back to the beach. Really doesn't do much for me. Enjoyed gulf shores golf club a lot more.
