While sand isn’t typically seen as a golfer’s friend, Kiva Dunes Golf Course has made golfers (of all skill levels) come to love it. With our sugar-white dunes and stunning coastal scenery, Alabama’s best golf course makes the experience both challenging, alluring, and relaxing.
Presented with a to-die-for site on southern Alabama’s Gulf Shore, Jerry Pate fashioned a masterpiece among sugar-white beaches, immense sand hills and gnarled beach oaks. – linksmagazine.com
Not only was Kiva Dunes designed by 1976 US Open winner and skilled design student Jerry Pate, the breathtaking course has another brilliant advantage on its side– nature itself. With two bodies of water bordering sugar-white sand dunes covered in beach oaks and pines, our course will make you feel like you’ve just stepped into a painting.

And when the game is over, you are just steps away from feasting your eyes on the stunning aquamarine waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Kiva Dunes is also regarded by many as course designer Jerry Pate’s finest work. The golf course is both challenging and beautiful, it has a great coastal feel to it with dunes, alligators, marshes and plenty of bunkers – worldgolf.com
While changes to its original form were required for an ideal golf experience, Pate’s award-winning design suggests that it is nothing but a natural extension of the surrounding dunes– every aspect of the site gives the impression that it has been around from the beginning of time. The outcome is a course “that’s both daunting and stunning, and one of the must play courses in Lower Alabama.”

Kiva Dunes can be demanding, but it’s fair and if you pick the right set of tee boxes and avoid the bunkers you’ll have a good round. Even if you don’t score well, you’ll still
enjoy this fantastic course. – texasoutside.com

The breathtaking landscape and unparalleled golf course pair to create an unforgettable atmosphere where relaxing days become lifelong memories.
