Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club - Lakes/Cypress Course

Gulf Shores, AL 36547
Phone: (334)968-8009Fax: (334)968-8013

The resort opened nine new holes in the summer of 1998, giving it three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The new nine, the Cypress Course, is just south of the original holes and borders wetlands. Six holes run east and west and three run north and south. There are six lakes on the new nine holes and the newest nine maintains the same flavor of the original eighteen course. However, it has more of an inland feel because of the hardwoods on the land, as opposed to the pines that are featured on the original holes. The original course, the Marsh/Lakes, was cut out of the natural woodlands and wetlands. Water hazards, in the form of twenty-three lakes, come into play frequently. This combination is extremely scenic because it is bordered on two sides by the Bon Secour Wildlife Preserve. This is a golfer-friendly course because the landing areas in the fairways are quite large. The fairways are wide open, and the large greens are fast. One hole, offering a spectacular view, plays alongside Mobile Bay. The signature hole is #2 on the Marsh nine, a 628-yard, par 5, with four lakes coming into play. The Emerald Coast Tour was held here in December of 1996. Walking is permitted during the twilight hours on weekdays.

Great Course, Feb 13, 2004

This course meets all of my requirements of a great course. Its challenges you with long par 4s, and exciting par 3s. It also gives you a great view of the atlantic ocean. This course is ranked as one of my favorites to play.

"great for beginners"
I happen to live on this course so I just have to drive down the street to get there. The eighteen holes are great for beginners. they are easy and can suport all ages. This is a great course for anyone.

"Great grass"
The course has rebounded very well from the second wettest year on record. The Burmuda fairways are the best on the Eastern Shore!

McPherson Country Club
"MCC was a tough little course"
I played in a Tourney there in June. It is a short course but one that demands shaping shots. MCC has postage stamp greens that are sloped and at times faster than any greens you will find anywhere. It is not uncommon to 3 or 4 whack on these greens that were well manicured. MCC is not your typical golf course but thats what makes it tough and fun. Bring your nerves cause this course is not a push-over to score low on.

"The Sharon Golf Club - a real treat"
The Sharon Golf Club is located in beautiful Sharon, Ohio. The various trees lining the fairways frame a challenging championship course that is relaxing and fun to play. The pro, Dwight Axtell is a wonderful teacher, and utilizes video analysis into his lessons. Mr. Axtell's lessons are available to non-members, and will help players of any ability level.
