Good Overall Course

I would say that this course is a great course for the area. Greens were nice and firm, receptive to spin. with a few small rough spots. Fairways were very good as well.

I wouldnt quite call this an elite course, but very good for a semi private. Weeds were still prevalent, but not detrimental to play.

There was no water coolers on the tee boxes and there was no ball cleaners. This was pretty much the only draw backs.

I did run into maintenance on several holes, they were nice and immediately let me play through. I would not expect this normally, but i was the first tee time out in the morning and ended up solo, so my pace was just a little over two hours.

Course was in great shape and everyone I came in contact with was professional and courteous.

Great course, will play again.

Great Course Highly Recommend and reasonably priced for a course of this quality

Played Tuesday 9-20-22. Very beautiful course and facilities. I have never met a more professional friendly and helpful staff on a course of this caliper.

From bag drop, paying at the clubhouse to meeting the starter, super nice guy. I have never had a starter who told my group to go hit a few on the range and he would come get us at our start time if we had not returned. Sorry I did not get his name but he was great.

Also, court Marshall, SUPER great guy, still do not remember his name, just he was a Missouri fan, my Son in law in I were dressed in Alabama, me and Auburn him. We had a threesome in front of us and no one pushing, so we always enjoyed chatting with him when he came around.

Only problem the greens had just been aeriated and were a little sandy, but this is just something that has to be done to keep this course to the level of the rest of it.

I will definitely play this course every time i visit Orange beach, which is 2 weeks a year.

Overall GREAT JOB Cypress Bend.

Rain, rain, go away so the farm can dry out.

I always enjoying a round on one of the two tracks when i come to Gulf Shores. The Cypress was really wet, and it needs a few days of no rain. Staff is always friendly and always helful. Look forward to playing Craftfarms another time in the near future.

Slow and Wet

This course has seen better days. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is very soggy from summer rains, and we were discouraged from even trying to play Cotton Creek, since it drains even worse.

Cart path only always slows things down, but pace of play seemed especially slow this day.

For the premium price, there are better values in the area.

Nice course

Staff was very friendly, driving range is great, the starter came and got us 3 minutes before our tee time and explained where to start and the course rules. We were a two some and were behind a 5 some at hole 7 the Marshall came and offered us cool towels since it was very hot , he also informed us that he had told the group in front of us to pick up the pace. That made our round much more enjoyable. Overall I was very pleased.
