Get to know Gulf Shores Golf Club, Alabama as you plan your visit. The Shore Club is the membership that regulars carry, and this page explains what it is, what it saves, and how to join.
One Course, One Club, One Membership
Gulf Shores Golf Club is the original course in Gulf Shores, eighteen holes of Jay and Carter Morrish design dating back to 1964. The Shore Club is not a second course or a separate facility. It is the name of our annual membership, the product golfers buy when they play here often enough that paying rack rate every time stops making sense.
No membership needed to play
Anyone can book a tee time at the daily green fee, online or through the pro shop. Shore Club members play the same holes from the same tee sheet. The difference is the price on the receipt.
What the Shore Club Membership Includes
The membership costs $199 a year, paid once. In return you get 25% off our rack-rate pricing every day of the year, access to the Twilight rate one hour before everyone else, and six guest passes that take 25% off a friend's round. Play a round every couple of weeks and the fee pays for itself well before the year is out.
Full pricing and the sign-up details are on the Memberships page, and the pro shop can answer anything that page does not.
Member Groups on the Course
Shore Club members form regular playing groups that go out together week after week. Joining one is the easiest way to find a game, meet other Gulf Shores-area golfers and keep a steady record of your rounds. GHIN handicap registration is handled 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.
Want to join a group?
Contact the pro shop. They know which groups have room, when they tee off and how to get connected.
How Members Book a Tee Time
Booking works the same way for everyone. Search available times online, pick your group size and choose cart or walk. Shore Club pricing is applied when you check in at the pro shop.
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 the early Twilight window is one of the membership's best perks on a packed summer sheet.
What Members and Guests Play
Eighteen holes, par 71, with tees from 4,700 to 6,900 yards. The course has a driving range, putting green, pro shop and on-site club rentals, all open to members and daily-fee players alike. Forgot your clubs? Rental sets are available through the pro shop.
Gulf Shores Golf Club is open year round. Mild winters and warm, humid summers mean there is no off-season here, which is honestly one of the better perks of playing golf down here and the reason an annual membership makes sense in every month.
Hosting a Tournament or Group Outing
Gulf Shores Golf Club accommodates group and tournament bookings for charity scrambles, corporate outings, bachelor party rounds and similar events, whether or not anyone in the group holds a Shore Club membership. 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.
