From light lunches to the calorie replacing variety of comfort food (that surely was enticing since I had burned a lot off while searching for balls and ducking under tree limbs), there is something for everyone.

The opportunities for complete calm and rejuvenation are just a car ride away. While it may seem best to make this a day trip, I would encourage visitors to stay after play. There are plenty of places to dine and shop in the evening between today and tomorrow’s rounds. Next month, we’ll explore the fine dining … and another Alabama Gulf Coast golf course. Kiva Dunes can accommodate both small and large groups and can work with organizers to arrange rates.
