The Isle Dauphine Golf Course, which almost closed a few months back because of financial woes, will remain open at least through Labor Day, according to the Dauphin Island Property Owner's Assoc. President
Jack L. Gaines, II.

The pool and cabana at the course also are open, for a fee, Wednesday through Sunday. The association's Board of Directors, in a March 22 meeting, moved to keep the golf course, the GulfView Grill and club house (for special events) operating through September 3.

The island's golf course also was featured in the Spring 2012 edition of Alabama Coast magazine, Gaines said. In a recent email to property owners there, Gaines urged the group to support the attraction that has been run by a volunteer staff since January.

"It is in all of our best interests to keep the entire facility operating, open to the public and the membership," he said in an email. "If you have not done so, please pay us a visit and support 'your' Isle Dauphine. Let others know we are open, alive and well."
