Gulf Coast or Golf Coast? Of course, Alabama’s Gulf Coast is known for its gorgeous white sand beaches, but it’s also a hidden gem destination for golf. In fact, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are home to courses that rank on the Best Alabama Golf Courses List. Courses designed by golfing legends such as Arnold Palmer, Bruce Devlin, and Jerry Pate offer challenges for players at all skill levels. A day spent off the sand of the Gulf of Mexico can be spent avoiding the sand traps of some gorgeous greens.

Golfing in the south means you can enjoy a golf trip nearly any time of the year. With milder weather in the winter months and gorgeous weather year-round, you can even find days in January and February to golf in Gulf Shores. In the summer, play nine holes in the morning and head to the beach to relax in the warmer afternoon. Plus, spring and fall seasons offer warmer weather but fewer crowds. No matter when you decide to make a trip for some great golf, Gulf Shores weather, and courses are ready to welcome you!
