Choosing Gulf Shores and Orange Beach for your vacation destination is a no-brainer when it comes to fishing, boating, noshing on fresh-off-the-boat seafood, and relaxing on 32 miles of white-sand beaches. But one of our most popular attractions is our signature golf courses.
Drive Less, Golf More
Architects of the courses here include famed players like Arnold Palmer – his only 36-hole property in Alabama – US Open Champion Jerry Pate, Bruce Devlin, Robert Von Hagge, and more. Some are technically challenging, some are playable for golfers of all skill levels, but all of these courses are visually stunning. These signature courses offer both variety and convenience for your golfing experience.

When and Where
Fall and spring are prime golf package seasons, but the weather in Gulf Shores is great year-round for hitting the links. The Gulf breeze makes for a cool golfing experience during the spring and summer, and snowbirds and golf enthusiasts flock to Coastal Alabama in the winter months because of the mild climate.
You can find specials centered around juniors, family, seniors, and ladies at most of our courses, plus nearly each course is playable for all ages and skill level.
For the scratch golfer in the group, Kiva Dunes is an excellent choice. This Jerry Pate link-style design hosts ample beautiful white-sand bunkers and natural lakes throughout the entire course. Even if you are just riding along, the natural scenery and variety of wildlife found on the course will hold your interest all day long.
Looking for more of a resort style course? Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club, just down the road from Kiva Dunes, is a must-play. Situated on the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge, the course offers three distinctive 9-hole golf courses all designed to showcase the natural beauty. The Earl Stone design accommodates any playing style and can be played repeatedly while providing a different experience each time.
Arnold Palmer course design fans, will want to make sure to visit both Cotton Creek and Cypress Bend at Craft Farms Golf Resort. These two courses are the only Arnold Palmer designs in the state of Alabama. Meanwhile, a quick drive over the Florida-Alabama line will take you to Lost Key, which is also an Arnold Palmer course. The southern charm and hospitality you experience while you play through these three will make you want to visit year after year.
