Excellent course and staff
The course was great and well taken care of. The staff was great! Paola in the pro shop was very nice and helpful. Would highly recommend this course to anybody looking for golf in the Gulf Shores area.
Great vacation course
Thie staff was very friendly and informative. The course was in good condition and the greens were rolling well, although it took a very crisp iron to hold the green. The new pro shop is very well equipped and the staff was great. Pace of play was 4 hrs and 10 minutes and we rarely waited. This course is a great vacation course.
Great customer service by Paola!!
What a great day at Craft Farms!! It was our first time to Gulf Shores and we made an excellent choice in playing golf at Craft Farms!! Paola was outstanding in providing us customer service in the pro shop!! All staff was amazing and made us feel very welcomed!! We will be back!!
Loved the Course, hated the pace of play!
The course was in excellent condition! Greens were excellent! The only issue was the pace of play. We played the front in 1.5 hours & the back took nearly 3.5 hours due to a 4 group outing that appeared to be playing for a green jacket. Ha! When you watch a player hit the ball 130 yards consistently off the tee & then the same play sitting 230+ out waiting for the green to clear is ridiculous. Please allow the "Player Assistant" to address these types of slow play issues.
Great course
Took a golf trip with several friends an cypress was one of the best courses we played. Conditions were great and the staff was really helpful. Would highly recommend this course.
lost
no hole pictures on scorecard OR hole, playing blind in Florida????, golf ended at 6:45pm EVERYTHING was CLOSED, NO washroom available, very poor
(I did save $100 as Golf Shop was closed so no shirt purchase)
Course needs grass around greens (hitting off hard ground)
one hole a back 9 could not put as green was full of leaves/seeds
Craft Farms
Played cypress bend & cotton creek both are fun to play, we also played Pennisula which is the same company and that one is awesome, we played 7 courses in 7 days, these 3 were all fun to play
Nice Course, Disappointing Experience
The course was nice, no complaints there. Unfortunately I left my wallet in the cart. It was turned into the pro shop, but all my cash was gone. My wife and I both left messages with a staff member in the pro shop who said they would speak with management. Disappointed there has been no follow up.
Cypress
Greens were fast,overall condition was very good,as was pace of play
Craft Farm
Nice facility. Good practice range. Love the course layout. Pace on front nine was great but the back nine screeched to a halt. We had as many as 4 groups on one hole! I’m not sure if they let a group on the back nine or what. Condition was fine for February. it was wet in places
Great time
This is a great course for both locals and visitors to the Gulf Shores area. Staff was super nice. Great practice facilities. This day was definitely off-season so they weren’t very crowded, but the course was still in great shape. Course layout is challenging but scoreable. Can be a bit pricey but they do have some lower rates early in the morning and late in the afternoon..
Great Place!
I've played a lot of golf courses over the years and I really enjoyed what this place has to offer. I played the cypress bend course. The course is challenging but not too tough. Pace of play was 3.5 hours which was perfect too. The course is a solid everyday play type of course for me. The practice facilities are kept nice and the staff was very friendly, especially both Paola and Amy in the pro shop! I was surprised how much I liked Craft Farms. Go play it if you're in the area.
Beautiful day
Enjoyed a wonderful day at Craft Farms. Staff from Maureen in the pro shop to the starters were all friendly, couldn’t imagine a more friendly staff. Not sure why but my friend and I had the course to ourselves and we teed off at 9am. It was our very own private club! Good design, great condition, nice greens smooth and true. I can’t wait to get back to Craft Farms, make it a 36 hole day and play both courses.
Nice course, good price. Great staff
This is a great vacation course. Fairways are generous and the layout is interesting, but not tricky. There are ponds on almost every hole, but it takes a poor shot to get in trouble. Pick the correct tees and you will have a great time. Their clubhouse is closed due to hurricane damage, so I cannot give it a good score on off course amenities. But the staff was great and very accommodating. We played in 4 hrs, so the pace was perfect.
