Gulf Shores, Alabama: More Than Beautiful Beaches By Len Ziehm Let’s make this perfectly clear, Gulf ShoresOrange Beach, sandwiched between Pensacola and Mobile offers much more than beautiful white sandy beaches and great golf. Gulf Shores is a unique spot for golfers. Not only are its courses good, but they’re not far from each other with a total of 15 courses in the area. “We’ve got an island that is 32 miles long in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach,’’ said Easton Colvin, public relations coordinator for Gulf ShoresOrange Beach Tourism. “There’s 32 miles of pretty, white sand beaches and 20 miles of golf, if you add the yardages of the courses there together. All the courses are public and you can schedule a tee time on your own at every one of them.’’ Three courses on the island, Kiva Dunes, Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club and Gulf Shores Country Club make a tasty trio. Kiva Dunes Over the years Kiva Dunes has earned the most accolades. This links-style layout was designed by Jerry Pate and Jim Edgemon.
