Like Six-Somes?

If you want to play as a six-some, then this is your place! Vacationing in Gulf Shores. Have played Craft Farms courses several times in the past and like the layouts. But this experience will have me never return. Over 5 hour round of golf on a Thursday afternoon 12:10 tee time. Made the turn in 2:15-- pretty reasonable but ended up playing the entire back 9 behind a 6-some. "(Check out the photo). On the par 3 12th hole, one then another "player control specialists" went blowing by us while we were on the tee waiting for the group in front to still GET ON THE GREEN. No communication to us at all as they drove by. No sure what was said but we continued to follow this 6-some for the remainder of the back 9. No sense going into the pro-shop to complain cause they were not all that helpful or friendly on check-in. Like I said, I won't return. Plenty of other good courses to play in the area.

Great course for any level of golfer

We’re in town for vacation (mid April) and had a blast playing this course. The starter Rick was very kind and offered tips for some of the harder holes and we really enjoyed chatting with him before teeing off. Paola in the Pro Shop was lovely to chat with as well. Overall we really enjoyed this course and would 100% play here again, despite the amount of time we spent in the sand :)

Good place

I've played both Cypress and Cotton this trip and, with the exception of path only when I played Cotton, I found everything to be very well managed and maintained. Pro shop staff, cart assistants, starter and beverage cart staff were all friendly and helpful. The courses were in great shape and both are enjoyable tracks.
