Great courses!

Love Craft Farms courses, facilities, and people. Best practice facilities in the area. The courses are in fantastic shape. Greens are not too fast and cut just right. I enjoy practicing there just as much if not more than playing, because Lord knows I need the practice! Staff is great and very professional, but not too serious. Overall a great experience. Will be back many more times.

Cotton Course

We played the Cotton Course today. The pace of play was perfect. The course was in very good shape. The front nine greens were better than the back, but were playable! The staff was amazing. The starter was very pleasant & Paola in the Pro Shop was so very friendly. I would definitely return to this course if I return.
