Planning a golf trip to Alabama’s Gulf Coast can be challenging, but if you are willing to take the time to organize your visit, you can have an epic experience along this stretch of coastline. Scheduling tee times, finding the right place to stay, and navigating transportation is a lot of work for a trip that’s supposed to be relaxing! From “stay and play” packages to “golf only” packages, dependent on your preference, there is something for everyone on the Gulf Coast.
How to Plan a Golf Getaway
Creating that perfect itinerary when heading to any golfing destination can be daunting. How do you manage your schedule to ensure you have plenty of time to play all the signature golf courses, while also sampling the delicious local cuisine, various attractions, and breathtaking beaches? Of course, while you can create your own itinerary, why not work alongside experts specializing in creating golf packages to satisfy all golfers? Coastal Alabama Golf partners with the best golf courses on Alabama’s beaches to create your perfect golf experience.
Whether you are looking to create an itinerary packed full of golf morning and afternoon, or perhaps you want to ensure you have time to relax on the 32 miles of pristine, white sand beaches, the flexibility of being able to customize your perfect trip awaits. Alabama’s beaches offer everything to create the dream vacation, and of course, finding the perfect accommodation is also critical in ensuring you stay near your chosen golf courses, along with all other amenities in the region.
Create the Perfect Golf Package
If you’re visiting during a popular golf season like spring or fall, the best tee times can be hard to come by. Not to mention finding a convenient rental. Who wants to stay miles away from the course? With a golf package, you don’t have to worry about either. Scheduled tee times and nearby accommodations get you out of the lines and onto the green - when it’s convenient! Plus, seasonal deals like the spring golf package get you the best prices at popular courses, even during the busy season.
Golf packages include courses like Kiva Dunes, the #1 rated public golf course in Alabama; the award-winning Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club; and the stunning fairways at Craft Farms - Cotton Creek, designed by Arnold Palmer himself. Each course is technically challenging and beautifully designed to give you a great game every time. Here are some of the highlight “golf only” packages that may catch your attention, but remember, creating your own customized itinerary is also available.
Pure Palmer – Play all three Arnold Palmer-designed courses on the Gulf Coast, including Craft Farms (Cotton Creek and Cypress Bend) and Lost Key Golf Club.
The Elite – Play the finest courses along this stretch of Alabama coastline, including Kiva Dunes, Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club, and Cypress Bend at Craft Farms Golf Resort.
Premium Pass – Three days of golf at three iconic courses, including Gulf Shores Golf Club, Cotton Creek at Craft Farms Resort, and Perdido Bay Golf Club.
Fort Morgan’s Finest – Play the three courses along the Fort Morgan Peninsula, including Kiva Dunes, Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club, and Gulf Shores Golf Club.
Whether you choose one of the above or prefer to create your own experience, the selection of courses available will ensure you won’t leave the area disappointed with your choices. If you want to make the ultimate guy’s getaway or play with your family, the perfect golf package
Customize Your Own Golf Package
Are you looking to stay at one of the luxury accommodation options overlooking the Gulf and play courses along the coastline and further inland? Create your customized itinerary by working alongside a Coastal Alabama Golf specialist to make this a golfing getaway to remember.
Whether you’re bringing your friends or the whole family to the fairway, a custom golf package can build the perfect golf experience to suit your trip. From luxurious lodgings to tee times on the best courses, a golf specialist will craft a plan to cover any obstacles you may come across - so you can worry about planning your swing, not your trip. But they can’t do anything about the sand traps - you’ll have to tackle those yourself.
Many of the courses along Alabama’s beaches are close to each other, so you could feasibly play a round in the morning and enjoy lunch either at the course or at one of your favorite local restaurants before heading to a different spot for a late afternoon game. While 36 holes in a day may be a little ambitious for many, you can create the experience that fits your preference.
The customized golf package goes beyond the greens. It involves hand-picking local restaurants, attractions, and beach time to ensure your action-packed itinerary creates your ultimate vacation on the Gulf Coast.
Come for the golf, stay for the lifestyle. If you’re coming to golf, be sure to plan some time to experience everything the Alabama Gulf Coast has to offer!
