Great course and the staff is great
First of all, there is plenty of staff and they are super friendly and helpful. This was my first impression and it was great. The course was well-maintained and the greens were the best I’ve played in the Gulf Shores area. A challenge if you are not hitting it well. If you are striking it well, there are plenty of birdies out there.
Cypress Bend
My first time on the Palmer design. Excellent facilities, and course conditions. Fantastic staff, very helpful. Starters were very, very welcoming and friendly. The only reasons I can't give the course 5 stars overall are: NO GPS ON CARTS TO TELL YOU WHERE YOU ARE GOING! NOT ON SCORECARD EITHER! NO WATER TO DRINK ON COURSE! 95 degrees!! BEVERAGE CART CAME BY ONCE!! Otherwise, I highly, highly recommend this course! I will be back!
Thank you for the review. We're sorry your visit was not up to par. We will use your feedback to improve. We're always working to be the best at Craft Farms.

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.
Thanks for your review. At Craft Farms you can always expect a great round of golf and exceptional customer service. Paola does a terrific job taking care of our guests in the Golf Shop! Come back for another round soon.
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.
Thank you for reviewing Craft Farms. We work hard to make a round of golf the best part of every vacation! We love our brand new golf shop. So many choices, and yes, we agree our people are amazing when you need help. Come back and play anytime!
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.
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
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.
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
Thank you for reviewing Craft Farms. Our agronomy team does a great job and we take pride in our enjoyable courses and our fast greens. We're glad you had a great round! Play Cotton Creek for a new look when you come back.
