Four Things to Know about Fall Golf in Alabama

Cooler temperatures play a big part in upping the ante for a good golf round come mid-September, but the many reasons to tee off in the fall may be different for every golf enthusiast.

1. Fall is also known as shoulder season in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach – one of the bookends to summer. What this means to you is that loading up the golf clubs and heading to the beach for a spontaneous weekend of great golf will be even more affordable. Since the rates are less than summer season, bring the whole family along – there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy on and off the course.

2. Fall is a great time to practice that golf swing and seek some assistance. Many golf pros offer lessons at discounted rates throughout the off-season.

3. Weather is another reason to factor in time for golf in the fall. Alabama’s Gulf Coast offers more mild temperatures in the post-summer months. Long days still remain, yet they are cooler and breezy, making morning and afternoon tee times quite enjoyable.

4. A fourth (bonus) reason to golf Gulf Shores in the fall is the natural, stunning beauty. Courses are soaking up the water more with less heat, making everything green and lush. Spend some time taking in all the courses possible in the area or hit just a couple so you can enjoy some time on a prime piece of sugar-white, sandy real estate. Whichever you choose, you’ll have the best of both worlds – golf and Gulf.
