ask at the desk at Kiva if they can get you a better rate / tee time at Peninsula. When we stay there, I play Kiva, Peninsula, and GSGC. For high handicappers, GSGC is by far the easiest of the 3. Then would come Peninsula, and Kiva is a pretty strong track. Bring plenty of golf balls and tee if forward for sure.

food rec's. Tacky Jacks is the closest to you by far. If you go into Gulf Shores (20-25 mins away), be prepared to wait at most places. LuLu's is an overpriced tourist trap, but the food / beverages were decent. We waited about an hour for a table at peak times. We have generally given up going into Gulf Shores for dinner and started cooking more at the condo. There is a good seafood market just up the road if you want to go that route.
Have fun, Kiva is a cool place.
