Kiva Dunes Golf Course

While vacationing in a condo next to this course I got a “Hot Deal” and played this Kiva Dunes for the first time. Tee boxes, fairways, greens (and sand traps) all were in great shape, well maintained. Course layout was somewhat challenging but yet playable for players of all skill levels.
All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The marshal (I forgot his name) was super friendly and engaged in good conversation while I was waiting on the group of 3 that I was teamed up with as a lone golfer.
Free, unlimited range balls with several targets on the range were a big plus. I recommend playing Kiva Dunes and would play again if/when in the area. It’s a nice classy course with a welcoming feel.

It was raining before and a little during round and course was still in amazing shape. Had difficult holes along with some open holes and was a great course to play. Staff in clubhouse and Marshall were very friendly and pace of play was good. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Course was in phenomenal shape. Literally shot the best score ever. No joke.

Cuba dunes is a great course with the added difficulty of the near constant coastal wind. I would recommend this course to anyone who has been thinking of playing at Kiva

This would be all 5 Stars but they had aerated the greens. We were aware of this prior to booking! It is an amazing place with great service and clubhouse! Hope to return!

Played with a gentleman named Dan. Swing looks like he would be around bogey but is actually a scratch golfer. Like dusted my tale…. his course knowledge helped tremendously though I was rarely able to capitalize on it. Dan I hope you and your family make it to Mikees!

Great course! Tight in spots but fair. Greens fast and didn’t hold approach shots from more than 100 yds but roll was true and condition good. Best course played in area by a lot!

Overall we really enjoyed playing the course. Wide open fairways for the most part that suits my driver off the tee. Greens were in great shape and fast!!! Since it was Mullet Toss week there were some foursomes on the course that impeded our progress but even with those challenges it was an amazing experience. Would definitely return there no question.

Conditions were tough with the wind gusting to 35 mph. Course was great and would recommend for others. A ranger was needed, we were a twosome and had two twosomes in front of us. We waited on every shot after the first 5 holes. The first twosome in front of us was extremely slow and the twosome in front of us started out playing the tips in extremely tough conditions. All that said enjoyed the course and facilities.

I’ve played Kiva quite a few times over the years and always come away content but not blown away. Part of this is likely due to the layout which despite being so close to the gulf and bay doesn’t have any views of either. Also, a number of holes are parallel to one another (particularly back to back par fives on the backside). Course conditions overall we’re good though the greens were very firm and our group found them generally unreceptive to most approach shots. Based on the fees and reputation I would expect everything to be a notch better. We will no doubt play again but it’s not the knockout that it could be.
