About Gulf Shores Golf Club
Gulf Shores Golf Club sits on the Alabama Gulf Coast, where a coastal setting, a demanding layout and a refined clubhouse combine into a course that suits both newcomers and experienced players.
Originally built in the 1960s, it was the first golf course in Gulf Shores. In November 2005 the club closed for a full renovation directed by Jay and Carter Morrish, and the reworked layout is what golfers play today.
