One of my favorite courses in the middle of nowhere that I have played. The course from tee to green was absolutely beautiful. My experience started from the moment we checked into the gate by a security guard. We had a peaceful early morning drive to the pro shop. Staff were very friendly. When we arrived at the starter who was very friendly, they had water in styrofoam cups with ice for all players and a barrel of green apples to take a few with you on the course. The course was open with a nice layout and very playable for all golfers of all skill levels. You get a nice roll in the fairway and the green was not too difficult to read. Great golf experience! We were lucky not to have anyone playing behind us or in front of us so pace of play for us was perfect and relaxing.

May be my favorite place to play - period. Live in HSV, played all the RTJ courses and love em, but the wide open fairways, course condition, and greens make this my #1. Enthusiasm only tempered by the price.

The course was in great shape. TaylorMade TP range balls. Nice practice area. The staff are nice. Food and drink was a little too pricey for what you're getting. Definitely worth the stop

FarmLinks is a special golf experience. Wonderfully maintained greens and fairways. Plenty of tee boxes for all skill levels. Staff and facilities are top notch. $200 a player, but worth the cost. Enjoy a drink and a bite to eat at Founders Pub after your round.
