Kiva Dunes Golf Club is widely regarded as the premier golf experience on the Alabama Gulf Coast, a nationally acclaimed links-style course on the western tip of Pleasure Island in Gulf Shores. Designed by Jerry Pate, the course opened in 1995 and immediately earned recognition as one of the best public courses in the Southeast. Kiva Dunes plays through dramatic sand dunes, sea oats, and natural coastal vegetation, channeling the spirit of Scottish links golf against the backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico. Wind is a constant and defining factor, capable of transforming any hole on the course depending on direction and speed. The turf quality, including Celebration bermuda fairways and ultradwarf bermuda greens, is maintained at a level that rivals top resort courses nationally. Kiva Dunes regularly appears on national best-courses lists and has hosted USGA qualifying events. At a Gulf Shores resort price, it still represents exceptional value for the quality delivered.
Kiva Dunes Golf Club opened in 1995, designed by USGA champion and PGA Tour winner Jerry Pate, who grew up in Alabama and brought his competitive playing experience to the design. The course was conceived as a true links experience utilizing the natural dune topography of Pleasure Island. It quickly earned national recognition and has hosted multiple USGA qualifying events, firmly establishing itself as the standard-bearer for Alabama coastal golf.
