How to Book a Tee Time at Shore Club
Booking a tee time at Shore Club in Gulf Shores is straightforward. Search available times online, pick your group size, and choose cart or walk. Then show up ready to play.
Peak season
Gulf Shores peak season runs spring through fall. If you're staying along Gulf Shores Pkwy or the Hwy 59 condo corridor, booking a day or two ahead is the smart move. Busy weekends fill up faster than you'd think, and nobody wants to scramble for a tee time on vacation.
What Golfers Can Expect on the Shore Club Course

Gulf Shores' coastal climate brings mild winters and warm, humid summers. The course stays playable during much of the year, which is honestly one of the better perks of playing golf down here. First-time visitors and day-trippers can check current conditions and availability before they arrive.
Golf Club Membership Options at Shore Club
Shore Club offers golf club memberships for individuals and families who want consistent access to the course throughout the year. GHIN handicap registration is available on-site through the pro shop — GHIN is the USGA's official Golf Handicap and Information Network, which governs how Handicap Indexes are calculated and maintained across the country.
Membership or green fees?
Local residents in Foley, Waterway Village, and Gulf Shores often weigh membership against paying green fees each round. Depending on how often you play, the math can shift pretty quickly in membership's favor. Contact the pro shop to learn what options are currently available and whether any fit a part-year schedule.
Men's and Ladies' Golf Leagues at Shore Club
Shore Club runs separate men's and ladies' golf leagues on a regular weekly schedule. Each league includes structured competition, ongoing handicap tracking through GHIN, and a community of fellow Gulf Shores-area golfers. Baldwin County's growing year-round population helps keep leagues active well past the summer tourist season. These aren't just warm-weather groups that disappear in October.

Hosting a Golf Tournament or Group Outing at Shore Club
Shore Club accommodates group and tournament bookings for charity scrambles, corporate outings, bachelor party rounds, and similar events. Gulf Shores draws corporate retreats and client appreciation events from across the region, and group dates tend to book up during peak season.
Reaching out early gives you the best shot at locking in your date. Contact the events staff to discuss available formats, your date, and your group size.
Practice Facilities and Pre-Round Prep at Shore Club
Shore Club's driving range and putting green give players a chance to warm up before stepping to the first tee. Both are open to members and daily-fee players alike.
Summer mornings
Gulf Shores summers bring heavy heat and humidity by mid-morning, so early tee times are the practical call during the warmer months. Starting at 7 a.m. versus 10 a.m. is a genuinely different experience out here.
The range works just as well for focused practice sessions outside of formal rounds. Contact the pro shop to confirm range ball availability and hours before your visit.
