Kiva Dunes is a hard course for me to rate. It ranks high on the must play list for Alabama, but in my opinion some of the other courses in the area were as good if not better. The course was in decent to good condition, but just didn't love it especially at the green fee price.

Marsh is a fun course thats not too challenging but will still manage to test the golfer in you. Beautiful scenery through the hundred year old live oaks.

Typical RTJ experience with wild elevation changes and aggressive contours. Some great views and a good walk through nature. As with most RTJ courses on the Alabama trail I probably would not recommend walking the course.
