Multiple hot tubs offer relaxation options, while a dedicated kiddie pool ensures safe water play for younger guests.
For fitness enthusiasts, the complex offers a well-equipped fitness room, sauna, and steam room.

The property also includes more leisurely recreational options such as shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, and a golf putting green, appealing to a wide range of interests.

Coastal charm with nearby golf and dining options
Royal Gulf Beach & Racquet Club is situated in the Fort Morgan area, known for its pristine beaches and relaxed coastal atmosphere. The neighborhood offers a tranquil setting away from the more bustling tourist areas, while still providing access to key amenities and attractions.
Adjacent to the property is the highly regarded Kiva Dunes Golf Course, recognized as one of Alabama's top golf destinations. The course's restaurant provides an additional dining option for residents and guests seeking a meal with scenic views.
For everyday needs, a Dollar General is located about 2.5 miles away, offering a convenient option for quick grocery runs and household essentials. While this may seem far by urban standards, it's a reasonable distance for the area and typical of the more secluded nature of Fort Morgan.
Families with school-age children should note that public schools are located in Foley, approximately 22-23 miles away. Foley Elementary School serves PreK through elementary grades, Foley Middle School covers the middle school years, and Foley High School provides secondary education. The distance to these schools reflects the area's focus on vacation and retirement living rather than year-round family residences.
The neighborhood's character is defined by its natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. The Gulf of Mexico and its beaches are the main attraction, offering swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The relative seclusion of Fort Morgan compared to more developed areas like Gulf Shores provides a quieter, more laid-back coastal experience.
Car-centric location with focus on scenic drives
Transportation in the Fort Morgan area primarily revolves around personal vehicles. The location of Royal Gulf Beach & Racquet Club, while ideal for a beachfront getaway, necessitates car ownership for most daily activities and longer trips.
The area's low density and spread-out nature make walking or biking impractical for most errands or commutes. However, the beachfront location does allow for leisurely walks or bike rides along the coast for recreation.
Public transit options are limited in this area, reflecting its focus on vacation and retirement living rather than daily commuting. Residents and visitors should plan on using cars for trips to grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities not available within the immediate vicinity of the complex.
The drive to more populated areas like Gulf Shores takes about 30-40 minutes, offering access to a wider range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. This drive along the coast can be scenic, particularly during less busy times of the year.
For those flying in, the nearest major airport is Pensacola International Airport, located about 1.5 hours away by car. Mobile Regional Airport is another option, approximately 2 hours drive from the property.
While the transportation options may be limited compared to more urban areas, the trade-off is a quieter, more secluded beachfront location. The lack of traffic and noise often associated with more developed beach towns can be seen as a benefit for those seeking a peaceful coastal retreat.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
