Look out the window Chicago golf fans. Look at the photos above
and below, where would you rather be. I thought so. Gulf Shores
Alabama has nine golf courses and more just waiting for you to
arrive. The temperature today is 73 degrees.
In a place where the locals yell "Roll Tide", golfers can watch the
tide roll by as they make their way around an area complete with
180 holes of golf.
Gulf Shores Alabama is a 32-mile stretch of Gulf Coast beach that
has mild winter temperatures, great golf, great food, nice places
to stay and plenty to do when off the course.

for folks who otherwise be shoveling snow in bitter wind chills,"
said Duncan Millar, executive director of Golf Gulf Shores. "The
attractive rates on our nine courses, great food and beverage
options and a host of area activities make Gulf Shores the perfect

Those other activites include. Fishing, winter is a great time
for catching Bull Redfish. Why not hit a early morning fishing
charter, and your bag full of Titleists in the afternoon.
If you love seafood Gulf Shores has plenty of seafood restaurants,
or pick up the "catch of the day" at Blalocks Fish Market and
cook them yourself at the condo.
If shopping is your thing, try both the Foley and Tanger Outlets,

enjoyable.
