Excellent experience all-around!

My round at Cotton Creek was a 10/10. The course was in excellent shape — the tee boxes were mostly level and well-manicured, and the greens were fast and true. The layout is excellent with several different tee levels and a nice mix of par 3s and 5s. The parking-lot, golf-cart greeter after my round (Bob, maybe?) was super friendly and very informative. Paola in the pro shop was incredibly kind and so personable. She even reopened the pro shop for me to buy some golf hats as she was locking the door to leave for the night. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Gulf Shores!

Great Course to play!!!

This was the first time in Gulf Shores, Craft Farms was great!! The staff was extremely friendly, Paola in the Pro-shop super helpful Winthrop my daughter finding some apparel and Bob the tee greeter was someone you could converse with forever. Being from Nebraska and hearing Bob talk about some of the same courses I’ve played as well made Craft Farms feel just like home. If you’re new to the area, definitely check out Craft Farms!!!
