Great Golf Surrounds Orange Beach

---

• Located on the Fort Morgan peninsula, offering dramatic coastal views and resort-style amenities.  
• Designed by Jerry Pate, it’s ranked among the best public courses in Alabama.
  Ideal for a “destination golf” round — scenic, high-quality, memorable.
   

Tip: Because of its popularity and scenic value, book early and ask for tee times that maximize views (morning light is nice).

• 36 holes of championship golf (two separate 18-hole layouts: Cypress Bend & Cotton Creek), designed by Arnold Palmer.
  Cypress Bend noted for its wide landing areas, lakes and bunkers — great for golfers of many skill levels.  
• Excellent value for the area and flexibility (choose your course, mix rounds).
   

Tip: If you have the time, play both layouts one day or back-to-back days for variety.

• A classic championship layout (18 holes, par-71) designed by Jay & Carter Morrish. 
• Located near Gulf Shores' resort area, making it convenient if you are staying in or around Gulf Shores.
  Good mix of challenge and charm: well-regarded locally.
   

Tip: Consider this if you want a strong quality round but not the premium resort price of some coastal courses.

• Located in Foley and offers 27 holes (Dunes/Vista 18 + Lakes 9) to give you flexibility. 
• Touted as “the area’s best value” — good for budget-conscious rounds without sacrificing quality.
   

Tip: For a relaxed day, play the 9-hole Lakes layout for a shorter, more casual round.

• An 18-hole public course located near the Gulf Coast and offering a bit more “hidden gem” feel compared to the major resort courses.  
• Rolling terrain, lakes, nice greens, friendly staff.
   

Tip: A nice option if you’re seeking a quieter round or want to mix in something off the “major resort” path.

• Public 18-hole course, just across the border in Florida. 
•  Adds a bit of variation if you’re willing to drive a bit.
   

Tip: Check travel time and book tee times in advance for weekend days.

• Public, scenic, designed by Arnold Palmer Design Company 
• Good option if you’ll be near the Pensacola/Perdido Key side.
   

Tip: Check travel time and book tee times in advance for weekend days.

• 27 holes (three 9-hole courses: Marsh, Lakes, Cypress) on the Fort Morgan Peninsula.  
• Offers variety and more flexibility in how much time you allocate.
   

Tip: Mix two of the nines for a custom 18-hole challenge.
 

•  27-hole championship layout with rolling terrain, forested corridors of magnolias, dogwoods and pines, and wetlands that wind through the property designed by Earl Stone.
• Multiple tee settings and 3 nine-hole loops
   

Tip: Many suggest to play conservative

• Designed by Earl Stone, the course plays to just under ~7,000 yards from the back tees and features significant elevation changes and undulating terrain — unusual for a Gulf-Coast course.  
• Fairways are generously wide and lined with tall pines and hardwoods, while many holes carry over wetlands and feature multi-tiered greens, which make approach shots and green reads more strategic.
   

Tip:
On Hole #2, tee-shots drop about 70 feet to the fairway, then your approach must carry wetlands to an elevated green with a bulkhead behind it. Make sure to check Daily Deals!

• Municipal/city-operated course with 9‐hole par-3 layout and driving range.  
• Ideal for warming up, beginners, or a quick afternoon round.
   

Tip: If the group has mixed skill levels or you want a lighter round — this is it.
