Dothan National Golf Club and Hotel

Loads of character….. Love this kind of spot! A quaint non-chain hotel, awesome friendly staff willing to make your stay worthwhile. This was a random check-in for us during our travel as our two nights nearby fell through. Eclectic decor of golf and family memorabilia from over the years, good food on the simple menu in the little pub. Most expensive thing on the menu $9 for the burger. Great for light meal. We had our clubs with us so played some golf on a beautifully laid out course. In need of some TLC on greens and fairways but you can see the team is working to bring the course to life. The practice range is fabulous. The rooms basic with comfortable beds, nice and clean. Best value for money paid !!!!

Slept like a rock here. made a $79 offseason 2nd floor, southern motel rate - but upgraded + $10 to ground on arrival and backed car up to room! its a safe motel - since its not in a downtown area, but 2 miles south of the dothan beltway in the country. bring your clubs ! on 10pm arrival I thought I missed the evening driving range - wrong! open to 1-2am depending. spent the next 2 hours on the range ! they have a state of the art automated Callaway assisted outdoor range pointed away from the lot and hotel with each lane having a dual monitor system for virtual golf AND/OR stats on every swing and hit. AND seating for friends. AND a full, cheap bar with southern-hospitality staff. AND $10/20/30 for balls to share with group with nothing extra for the automation. Im from C.FL im used to burnt courses and this one had a couple of hazzards, but it was just something to play around every 3 holes it seemed - but overall it was fine, and a cheap way to play on a Nickolas designed, prior PGA tour stop. I was happy to pay half the TJ costs and relax with great staff. on the automation each shot has time, club used, flat carry, total yds, ball speed, launch, height, landing degrees, curve, offline with a visual of the range showing groupings by club, sorting each category. I learned more about my swing and clubs in 2 small baskets than ive known my whole life. was perfect timing because I was late leaving waiting on my new taylor made irons to take there. We were in town supporting the Scottish Highland Games, now in Daleville, and with the great experience here we will add DN to our preferred hotel/motel spot and socialize in a lane with other MacDhuibh family clan members and friends to congregate as they arrive. Golfed both mornings and had a great time! pics of range below. BTW - they were doubling the number of lanes the weekend we were there. its a great setup. a huge feature not discussed on other reviews - newer feature. room wasnt JW Marriott but it had essentials, it was quiet, and thankfully it doesnt allow smelly dogs and/or smoking in the rooms. This old PGA stop is the true south by God's Grace. The staff is great !

I have played many golf courses in the south east. This course, by far, is the worst I have played. The cart paths are terrible, the fairways are terrible, and the greens are Terrible. I am posting some pictures but they will not do it justice. Same your money, drive somewhere else and play.

We booked on-line through Priceline. A great rate of $53/night, this would be a one night stay as a rest stop on the way down to Port Saint Joe, Florida for our 11th anniversary trip. When we arrived I told the desk clerk our name and that we had reservations, he promptly ask for ID, said "yep, got you for one night?". "Yes sir" I said....he put in all the information, and presented us with an $89/night price......I told him that wasn't correct, presented our confirmation email with the $53/night price, and we were told "sorry, we can't do that price, $78/night is the best we can do". I again said we had reservations, he apologized for the problem, but, again, said they couldn't honor that on-line price. I told them they'd have one less room to clean, 5 instead of 6. This place was near empty, we didn't stay there. I wonder how many folks just go ahead and pay the increased rate.

We felt like we were the victims of a "bait and switch". We booked our room through **********, but the hotel would not honor the rate when we arrived. Because they have the "golf" in their name, they charge more. This hotel is along the lines of a Motel 6 or Super 8. Hotels is VERY old and in desperate need of cleaning and updating. The handle in the sink in our room would come off in your hand when you tried to turn the water on or off. The rooms was so bare. There was no clock, no iron, no hair dryer. You actually have a key for the door and they charge a deposit, which is supposed to be refunded. I am still waiting for that. Would not recommend this property if you are looking for clean and comfortable.
