Cypress Bend at The Craft Farms Resort

Seemed a bit dated, but the course was in good shape as were the greens. Wasn't quite as nice as I'd hoped being a Palmer/Troon course, but would like to return and try the other course there. Bar area wasn't that nice, but the food was good and they handled things well during Covid. Did get to play as a twosome which was great!

This is a great course and it plays hard from the tips and much easier from the closer tee boxes so it can be fun for everyone. I played with my son who is 13 and he said it was the best part of our vacation.

First and for most I had never been to a course this nice before and felt nervous on what to do but I was greeted by a young man named James (wonderful southern hospitality) at the front of the building and he made me feel like I was a member. Also what an outstanding course .. I’m no scratch golfer and the resort style course was perfect for me.

The golf was really good the course played well pace of play was bad but we were stuck behind a group of seven people

I played the Cypress bend course and it was a great time. I don’t get to play nice courses very often so I always had the idea the nicer the harder. That just wasn’t the case. Having a course in such great condition made every shot that much easier, greens were sticky and if I hit them they stuck. My home course is very rough, which must make it even harder to play well. This was my best round I’ve ever had, and I believe the course had a lot to do with it!

Staff was friendly and cooperative. Course had a good mix of challenging holes and easier holes. Tee boxes were a little rough but that’s my only course complaint.

Staff was friendly, range and putting green was nice and the course was in very good shape.

Great course. We were delayed by rain, lots of it, but the course drained extremely well and we continued our round without problems. The greens rolled perfectly. The only"complaint" is that the links course wasnt really a links course, but it was in wonderful condition.

On family vacation last week in Gulf Shores and only planned on two rounds - Cypress Bend and Kiva Dunes. Had such a good experience at Kraft Farms I found time for two more rounds there.

Every course can be nit-picked, but considering course design, condition, facilities, pace of play, service and price, there's nothing close to Kraft Farms. My understanding is the Cotton Creek course is more difficult than Cypress Bend which is more of a 'resort style' course.

Of most significance, the people and quality of service was outstanding from the moment you get out of the car. Paola, in the pro shop, goes above and beyond. Bill and Ryan were awesome. I highly recommend this course.

Top notch course. Fast fairways and greens. Excellent condition. Excellent staff and service. Highly recommended.

From the time you drop your bag until you leave, Craft Farms is an experience. Paola in the shop was 5 stars. Bob and all the other staff were so friendly and very accommodating. I played Cypress Bend and 9 holes on Cotton Creek (you have to hit fairways and greens on this course). Both are really nice and were in great shape. I will be back and highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great golf.

I am a local and played with my middle school aged son. I was charged local rate as advertised but was charged full child price. Instead of the children play free advertisement. This makes twice i have been charged for a child when they have been advertising children play free. I will continue to play the course but will when my child plays i will play another local course that honors their advertisements.
