With several premier golf courses added to the mix of other activities, including fishing, boating, kayaking and biking, and you’ll find there’s more to this small beach town than meets the eye. Golf Gulf Shores Country Club was the first golf course in the area and in some ways, it is still the best. This is a golfer friendly course, but with wonderful green surrounds and putting challenges. If you are visiting from the north and escaping cold weather, Gulf Shores Country Club should be the first course on your golf itinerary. It is forgiving off the tee and always a joy to play. Craft Farms has the only two 18-hole Arnold Palmer designed courses in the state of Alabama. When Arnold agreed to build the first course here, he was the catalyst to brining thousands of golfers to Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
