Anybody have suggestions for the best courses in or around Gulf Shores? Currently have a tee time at Kiva Dunes and looking at maybe Peninsula. I will only get to play twice while I'm there so I wanna make it count.

my family i make the trip to gulf shores every year. my dad and i play golf atleast 3 times on the visit. our two favorites are peninsula and kiva in that order. we had a friend visit a couple of weeks ago and peninsula had shut down 2 of the 3 sides, you might wanna call and see what sides are open before playing.

we played cotton creek last time which is a part of the craft farms resort and it was a great course, it will become a part of our golf trip.

we liked glenlakes but the course this summer had problems and burned up pretty bad and it wasn't as good as years past, i'd drive by and check out the fairways on it before committing to play.

my dad enjoyed the preserve at soldier's creek. i didn't like it so much b/c of the heat. it is inland and doesn't get any gulf breezes. we played it in the middle of july though. i'm sure it would be better at other times of the year.

you might want to check out rock creek or something like that up in mobile. it is a part of the robert trent jones golf trail. we haven't gotten up there for the same reason of heat as soldiers creek. we have it planned for a spring trip sometime in the future.

those are the main courses i'd say look into. there are plenty more like the state park and a little par 64 in foley. these courses normally are open even when rain shuts down most of the others.

    • Day 242 4-19 correct hip/chest movement in backswing. Less hip turn more chest turn. Did a bit of wrist arch stuff as well.
    • Day 42 (19 Apr 26) - Spent a bit of time working on maxing torso rotation…hit a few pitches to help reinforce. 
    • Thanks - that was a total surprise…

    • First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
