Golf for Kids

Can anyone recommend a 3-par golf couse that would be ok for kids. Going down March 29th for a week. I don%26#39;t need an expensive PGA course where people will be rolling there eyes etc.. when my kids (who are not Golf pros) shank one. Kids are 11 and 9. thanks for any help.

There is a par 64 course at the intersection of Hwy 59 and County Road 12. Don%26#39;t know the name, but you can%26#39;t miss it.

The above mentioned course is a good recommendation. They have a driving range as well.

Other places:

Orange Beach Sports complex (Canal rd near the Wharf) is supposed to have a par 3 course but when I went there for the car show, I couldn%26#39;t find it. (didn%26#39;t look too hard though)

Also, Emerald Greens on CR 6 is a 9 holer I%26#39;m hearing good things about....

The RTJ golf course in Mobile supposedly has the best par 3 course in the state but is a bit of a drive and may be pricey (PGA-ish in other words)

Hope this helps and hit em straight!

I had forgotten that the executive course (par 3) at Orange Beach Sports Complex had reopened. It is actually across Canal Road and about a half mile east of the sports complex. It%26#39;s right behind Coco Cay furniture. Nice little course with a good driving range.

Thanks dd992emo. I will have to check it out for future recommendations. Sounds like the location for GS or OB guests would be perfect....

Definitely go to the Orange Beach Golf Academy. We always go there with our kids and it%26#39;s close. It%26#39;s fairly priced and a nicely landscaped par 3 course. And we%26#39;ve never run into crowds. I%26#39;m glad to hear they%26#39;ve reopened.

I researched this a little more and here%26#39;s more info:
