Rock Creek Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Rock Creek Golf Club was established in 1993. The club is located in Fairhope, Alabama on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. This 18-hole 7,000-yard championship course is dramatically designed to create a challenge for both the amateur and the professional. The topography and foliage of the land, along with the elevation changes and incorporation of wetlands, create many natural hazards while adding to the visual effect of this magnificent course. Rock Creek is truly one of the top courses located along the Gulf Coast. Designed by Earl Stone with every golfer in mind, the unique characteristics separate this course from others. Rock Creek is a must play when you are on the Gulf Coast.
DIRECTIONS: From I-10: take Exit 35 East (Fairhope / Spanish Fort), go east on Hwy 98 for 6.5 miles to the entrance on left, follow road down the hill and at stop sign take a left, clubhouse is ahead on the right.

First Time at Rock Creek
Drove here from Gulf Shores and was very impressed with the course and all amenities.
Beautiful layout which is challenging to play and pleasing to enjoy..
The Best Shape Golf Course in Baldwin County
The course is in great shape! Greens are rolling well! The staff have COVID-19 procedures in place and are following them. From the cart attendants, to the pro shop staff, to the cart girl... the entire experience was fantastic!! Definitely one of my favorite courses to play!!
Nice Course but Could Get Bumped
Play this course a good bit. Usually in good shape and friendly staff. This day the traps were not raked. fairways & greens in good shape.
Got to the course and to the 1st tee 10 minutes before tee time. Course marshall had already let the men's club start play which had a tee time after us.. His excuse was that he could not confirm with the pro shop that we were checked in. The pro shop is about a 1 minute walk from the first tee. No excuse for not checking. Good course but just beware that you can get bumped for no reason. Not a very professional move.
Course conditions have vastly improved over the last couple of years. Greens rolling possibly as wonderful as they could. Best public course in the area, by far!
Best course in then area!
Golf course was in exceptional playing conditions. Staff was friendly.

As usual, had a great day. Staff is always courteous and friendly. Greens are smooth and course conditions have greatly improved! Don't miss a chance to play Rock Creek!
Awesome course!!!
The course is in great shape and I had a great time playing. Couldn’t be happier with my experience at Rock Creek!
Great!
Course was in great shape will start playing regularly loved it!
Course was in great shape. All grass was nice and cut. Greens were perfect. Definitely will be back!!!!
Excellent course for the money!
Went out about 11:00 on a Saturday and played full 18 in less than 4 hours! Course was in great shape and greens rolled true! Recommend this course for anyone wanting to get in a nice round for a great price!
Best deal on the Gulf Coast
The course is challenging greens tricky. Not.very long but a challenge for all levels of skills.
Best deal on the Gulf Coast
Absolutely the best deal on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Course competitive for the new bees and low handicappers.
Perfect Day on a Perfect Course.
From the person in the pro shop to the bar tender/waitress to the gentleman working the carts to the on course beverage cart just simply outstanding. The course has been hit by some heavy, heavy rains but still looked and played tremendously. This will be an annual stop for now on. If you have never played it you’re missing something.
Baldwin County Fave
A must stop and play with my brother whenever I’m visiting Baldwin county Alabama. As usual the staff was friendly, even as they were preparing for a major event later that day. Got a bargain on greens fees with coupon. I love the layout and the conditions were great except for a couple of the bunkers this time could’ve use a little work. Will stop again next time I’m in the area.
Maintenance staff interruptions
Maintenance staff needs etiquette education. Some maintenance staff followed us for several holes raking sand traps with a machine. They should have started at 18 and worked back so as not to follow us for several holes. They would come up behind us and sit with the motor running. Also encounters this on a couple of holes with a front end loader tractor and also with a mower coming up behind us. Their drivers sit and talked loudly next to a green while we were putting. An overall unpleasant experience which negatively impacted the enjoyment. I have never encountered this much interruption on any of the 100s of courses I’ve played. Maintenance staff are usually considerate and will move aside and turn off engines on equipment. This did not happen at Rock Creek.
One of my favorite courses in the area!
I live in Pensacola, FL but frequently travel to Rock Creek to play a round. The course is one my favorite tracks in the area. For me, every hole sets up right in my mind. #2 is a real challenge but always fun. The staff are all friendly plus Rock Creek has the BEST cart lady ever in Heather Houston. This lady delivers, not only drinks and snacks, she delivers sunshine with her smile. You can tell she is a sincerely good person. I recommend Rock Creek Morning 100%
