Love Craft Farms Cotton Creek. Peninisula is right after that for me.

My sister has a house at Peninsula behind one of the greens on a hole farthest from the club house. Yall quit pissing in the yard
There's plenty of free golf balls in the azaleas. She has a laundry basket full in the garage.

I love Kiva - it can be very challenging if you are off your game....but it is worth the drive.

Peninsula fits me well...very relaxing round of golf - keep the ball in front of you and in play and you can post a very nice score there. The course that has the couple of holes by the bay is my favorite.

Call before you play and check to see if they punched the fairways and greens!!!!!!!!!!!

Was there end of April. Played Peninsula 1st day and it was awesome. Gulf Shores Golf Club was best bang for buck. We thought it was going to be a goat ranch, but was actually very nice. We payed $120 for the day and played 54 holes. Craft Farms was very nice too. Really liked it a lot. Played 36 there last day. Glenlakes was nice and fun course when we went last year, but was not in as good a shape this year. Greens were not good. Not sure how they are now though.

Peninsula has 27 holes and only punches 9 at a time so there will always be 18 greens in perfect condition.

Played Lost Key this past weekend and the course was in great shape

The greens were amazing. A little fast but very well done

But the nickname "lost ball" certainly suits the course

Hoping to play peninsula in a month when I'm down there again

I'll be there in a couple weeks, any personal choices towards GSGC or Peninsula? Sounds like it's between those two for me and the prices look similar online. I'm only golfing one day.

be sure to check the prices on Golfnow.com. They can be 15%-50% off at some courses down there.


My vote is Peninsula. Best manicured course down there by far and a great layout no matter which 9 holes you play

In my opinion Kiva Dunes is the "nicest" course if you go by condition, scenery and course layout. It has very large and undulating greens and it is not too long. Peninsula is also well maintained and has some very interesting holes. My favorite in the area is Cypress bend at Craft Farms. The greens are top notch and the layout is fantastic. Lots of risk/reward holes. I play there at least once a year.
