Dunes at GlenLakes Golf Club

The Dunes at GlenLakes Golf Club in Foley, Alabama, is a collaboration between Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, two architects known for their bold, strategic designs across the American South during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The course occupies rolling terrain in the coastal plain region north of the Gulf Shores area, where the landscape allows for natural elevation changes and sandy soils that support the firm playing conditions typical of the design team's work. Devlin and von Hagge often incorporated dramatic bunkering, water features, and generous landing areas that reward accurate play while penalizing wayward shots.

The routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with holes moving through corridors of native vegetation and stands of pine. Water comes into play on several holes, and the bunkering style reflects the architects' preference for large, sculptured sand complexes that frame greens and define strategic options from the tee. The course serves as one of two layouts at GlenLakes, providing members and guests with a distinct playing experience that emphasizes shot-making and course management.

GlenLakes sits in a region that has seen considerable golf development over the past few decades, drawing both seasonal residents and visitors to the Alabama Gulf Coast. The club offers a range of amenities typical of residential golf communities in the area, with the Dunes layout serving as a centerpiece of the property's recreational offerings.
