Ready to play a golf course surrounded by spectacular scenery, breathtaking water features, and a challenge for every standard golfer? Head to ONE Club Gulf Shores to experience an epic golfing experience that epitomizes everything there is to love about golf along the Gulf Coast.
Best 45 Holes in Golf
The spectacular Craft Farms Golf Club, designed by Arnold Palmer, is located next to ONE Club’s golf course and frequently is the course that many visiting golfers will play. However, lying in the shadow of the ONE Club Golf complex is a 9-hole gem at ONE Club that is actually part of the “Best 45 Holes in Golf.” The nine-hole executive course at ONE Club offers visitors the opportunity to play a quick round before experiencing other onsite amenities and having easy access to other iconic attractions in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Located in the heart of the gorgeous community of condos available for rent (or purchase for those ready to make Alabama Beaches their permanent home), this course offers a fun-filled family golfing experience that all can enjoy. This Gulf Shores golf course epitomizes “southern coastal living,” with the 32 miles of pristine beaches only a few miles away from this gated community.
Inspiring Arnold Palmer Design
The inspiration of Palmer’s design is evident throughout this elegantly manicured course. The attractive water features not only create an aesthetically appealing design but also ensure golfers give their full attention to every shot with a high number waiting to wreck a scorecard on every hole.
The iconic first hole has water lining the right side of the fairway, and with condos to the left, the target is narrow and certainly not for the faint-hearted. While many holes at ONE Club are short, accuracy is paramount on every shot, particularly from the tee. The par-5 third hole requires an accurate tee shot to give golfers the decision as to whether they take the aggressive approach or play safe with a three-shot strategy to create a birdie opportunity.
If you are able to avoid the plethora of trouble scattered around this course, there are plenty of opportunities to pick up a shot or two. Golfers looking to play 18 holes at ONE Club will either face good or bad memories as they play the back nine around the same holes. The 9th hole is both the longest and most challenging, not only because of the meandering golf course water hazard that creates a visual nightmare on both tee shot and approach into the green but also because of the challenging green, which makes even a two-putt difficult.
Delicious Cuisine and Creative Cocktails at Bar 45
Following a day playing at the challenging ONE Club golf course, head inside to experience Bar 45 to indulge in a full-service restaurant while admiring the breathtaking views across the 9th hole and beyond. With flatbread pizzas, wings, burgers, tenders, and more available on the menu, there are plenty of options for every appetite. Open to visitors and locals, Bar 45 creates the perfect environment to watch your favorite sporting event, meet up and relax with friends and family, or even host a private event with the perfect backdrop of the ONE Club course.
The onsite game room and golf simulator offer an additional attraction, with over 100 of the most infamous golf courses around the world available for virtual play. Whether you are intrigued by this or still prefer to head out to the ONE Club golf course, there are options for all the family to enjoy.
ONE Club’s Pickleball Court in Gulf Shores
A trip to ONE Club, the premier golf resort in Alabama, is all about unique and trendy experiences. The focus of your visit may well be to experience the nin-hole ONE Club golf course and indulge in delicious cuisine but don’t forget to check out the collection of other amenities that are available for visitors and residents. The poolside cabanas are a relaxing prospect on a warm summer day, though as the temperatures increase, the prospect of keeping cool in the pool areas will be too tempting to resist.
The newest and largest fitness center in Gulf Shores is available with advanced fitness technologies, including the Peloton bike and other machines. For guests who choose to take advantage of the on-site vacation rentals, there is an abundance of other amenities available, such as a volleyball court, pickleball court, and more. A collection of quirky indoor and outdoor games, including bocce, corn hole, golf chippo, horseshoes, and more, are also available for those who want to try new experiences.
