Golf Course in Gulf Shores

Alabama ABC Board rules require that courses operating under a retail license confirm their cart staff comply with current Alabama alcohol seller-server training requirements. The specific training program and renewal schedule are set by the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. We'd point prospective cart staff and curious golfers to abc.alabama.gov or the Baldwin County ABC office directly for the current rules.

Alabama ABC regulations prohibit removing alcohol purchased under an on-premises license from the licensed premises — drinks bought from our cart must be consumed on the golf course. This rule applies to beverages sold from the cart and is consistent with how on-premises alcohol licenses operate across Alabama.

A charity golf scramble that includes a raffle or auction fundraiser may require an Alabama nonprofit gaming permit separate from our existing ABC beverage license. Our license covers alcohol service during the event — it doesn't automatically cover fundraising gaming activities. Event organizers should verify this requirement with both Baldwin County authorities and the Alabama ABC Board well before the event date.

Peak beverage cart demand runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, driven by beach tourism along the Alabama Gulf Coast. A secondary demand window runs from October through March, when snowbird and seasonal residents from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are active on the course. We staff the cart year-round, but peak-season frequency is highest during the summer resort period.

Golf club rental availability and reservation policies vary by season. Visitor volume spikes significantly from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and checking availability in advance — especially if your group needs multiple sets — is a practical step to avoid delays at check-in and keep your tee time on schedule. Call our pro shop directly to confirm current rental inventory and any advance booking options.

Events that include paid entry fees, raffle fundraising, or off-site catering may trigger additional Baldwin County or Alabama ABC requirements beyond what we already hold. Event planners should confirm the specifics of their outing format with our event coordinator and with Baldwin County authorities before finalizing any contracts or sending invitations.
