Great course

This course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly and made you feel right at home. We played cypress and there were a bunch of hazards but still very user friendly. Would go there again.

resort course

Great for all varieties of handicaps. greens were rolling nicely however every hole cut from the past 3 weeks was visible. Open fiarways with bunker layouts and water on every hole creating challenging tee shots

Nice course but overpriced

$150 for a round means PGA level course and amenities- not quite what you get at Craft Farms. Course is in good shape and staff is great but price of round does not match.

Great service

The man, Trey, who checked us in was very friendly! The starter guy was so helpful especially bc we were first timers! We had a 3:00 tee time so we were last on the course to finish. A man named Bobby, met us at the end of the course, followed us to the car, wiped our clubs off and took our carts back! What a guy!! Thanks Bobby!!

Craft Farms golf

Excellent facility and course layout. Staff were very friendly. Course itself was nice and the greens rolled true. A bit over priced for golf during the winter. Overall, very nice.

Spring Break

The golf course was in great shape with soft green fairways & nice medium-fast greens. My tee time was at 2:30 & I played a 3 1/2 round. Staff was friendly like always & I will be playing the Cotton tomorrow.

Amazing Course, Even better staff

The vibe of this course is great. I loved the clubhouse, pro shop and bar. Clubhouse has a farmhouse style vibe to it with a great views onto the course from the bar and restaurant. Pro shop is one of the most well equipped shops I’ve seen with unique gear to the course. Staff was the highlight, they really take care of you here. Everyone I dealt with was great. The course layout is fun, and challenging at the same time a lot of different types of looks. Played both the cypress and cotton course. I preferred cypress but both are in some of my favorites I’ve played.

Fun but busy course

Nice resort layout, greens well protected with traps, but fairways wide and forgiving, lots of water but not many forced carry’s. Greens very good easy to read.

Very good winter golf course

Nice course

Foursome ahead got more than 20 min behind pace, before marshall chastised them. Then than that course played well. In good shape for mid-February. Grrens ran true enough. GPS on carts was new and a nice feature. Would play again.

Great courses: very challenging and subtle

Avid golfer.

Loved these courses.

Both in fantastic shape.

Cypress is harder (more traps, tougher greens).

Cotton creek is still very fun.

Layout was very fun.

Enough rolling hills to make adjustments on every shot.

Greens, like glass and no straight putts.

Enjoyed the course

I always enjoy the Craft Farms courses. Greens were great and fairways in good condition.

The only drawback were the bunkers. The sand was so thin on top of hard packed earth that it was almost impossible for my foursome to hit explosion shots out of the bunkers, so after a few miss hits had to change and try to pick it clean

Greens was Horrible

We paid 159 each and you had to literally pound the ball on 20 ft putts. Lucky if they rolled a 5 on meter. Played a couple courses in area and was in much much better condition. I would consider this a no next year.
