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.

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.

Staff not friendly.

My friend and I were paired with another twosome. After 5 holes, a Marshall approached us and told us we would have to speed up, that we were 20 minutes behind pace. We had been on the Golf Course for an hour. We finished the 1st nine 1:50. A group of members had come up behind us and called in saying that we were too slow, and the staff just went with it instead of checking to see when we actually teed off.

I won't go back.

Nice track, but lacks character

The course was in good shape. The greens had not completely healed from aerification and were really soft and bumpy. The back tees needed to be mowed as well. Course gave you generous room to play and everything is in front of you. Staff was great and very friendly. This would be a great course for mid to high handicap golfers because it's not too difficult and in good condition.

Coarse Still in Repare

I’m a local to the area and thought I would play around on crab farms which I don’t get to very often because of the price. So this round was 60 bucks, and I believe it’s because I had just aerated and there were some repairs being done on the course. They did a good job of aerating the greens and overlay in sand but I made them not as desirable. And since most of your strokes are on the green, I just wasn’t much of a day for golf.
