Second time playing this course
Bring your A game or move up and play from the white tees
This course has wonderful greens and bunkers that’s has some of the best sand in them
I shot a 76 and left a few on the greens with my putter
Enjoy your round
Great course
I played early morning, right after a heavy rainstorm the night before. The course drained relatively well however it was cart path only. I booked as a single and 2 others booked my time. The starter was very friendly and offered if I wanted to go out solo behind a twosome that had just teed off. Staff was fantastic, fairways were nice (but a little soggy), greens rolled very true however they weren’t as responsive as I thought they would be to 130 yards and in. The only negative things I have to say is that the range was closed due to the rain the night before (I recommend them putting mats out for before round practice) & there isn’t any “stunning” views for the price. Would definitely play here again though.
Great day on the course!
First class golf course! Staff was very friendly from the bag drop, pro shop to the starter. The starter even drove with me to the no 1 tee since I have never played here before. The course was in excellent condition. The layout was both fun and challenging with bunkers and water along each hole but I never lost a ball! I was by myself and finally caught up with a foursome that allows me to play through even though they were already on the green. It was a par 3. I will play here again. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the barrel with iced down apples in it!!! Nice touch
Great day of golf
Craft Farms golf courses are among the best in the area. It is a beautiful setting and the courses and entire facility are meticulously maintained.
Most beautiful and amazing Golf Course I have ever played.
This is by far the most beautiful and amazing Golf Course I have ever played. We played the Cypress Bend course and was a little rainy but that wasn’t going to stop me from playing this Golf Resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar and grille was very nice as well. I will definitely be coming back to play the other course. Thank you Craft Farms for having us.
Even on a rainy afternoon in Gulf Shores, Cypress Bend was in great condition. Paola was working the Pro Shop and she was very nice and helpful! Would recommend any golfer to play Craft Farms when visiting beautiful Gulf Shores, AL!
Great Course. Better Staff
My dad and I played this course while on vacation and it didn't disappoint. This was easily one of the better courses that we have played and will definitely be back. The course was in great shape. What made this round even better was the top notch staff. Every staff member we met throughout the day was extremely helpful and personable. This staff was world class!
My Review
The Cypress Bend course was outstanding. The course was in very good condition. It looked good. It was very green, and greens were great. Fairways were good, too.
Pace was fast. I was a single, and my 18-hole round was two and a half hours long. I caught up to some people on the back nine, though, and I had to wait briefly at times on the back nine.
Staff was super nice.
Good place to practice. Good driving range, but the driving range was closing early at 3. Range balls were included, which I like. Good practice greens and a practice bunker, too. Craft Farms is great. I recommend visiting there. I don't usually give a course 5 stars, but I am giving this one 5 stars.

DeeWinch, Thank you so much for the 5 Start Review, we can't wait until your next visit.
Never Played Before, 1st Time
Cypress Bend is a nice well maintained course, still somewhat recovering from aeration after a month or more, but the greens were very nice, rolled smooth. I enjoyed the course, but must mention the staff was over the top, great, always smiling and willing to help. The golf shop was neat, clean and maintained, professional appearance.

Thank you for taking the time to recognize our course and team. We are humbled by your comments. We can't wait until your next visit with us.
Take care,
Great course
So much fun! Incredible staff! Caught a bunch of members on the back and pace slowed down but hard to get mad when it was so nice!

Milesoller,
Love the 5 Star review. Thank you again!
Great golf experience
This was an unbelievable course and just overall golf experience. My brother and I are both college students and wanted to take advantage of the 50% off for student promotion, but it was going to end 2 days before we arrived in golf shores. I emailed Mr Ryan Mello and asked if he could possibly extend the promotion and he emailed right back informing me that would be no problem. The staff was wonderful especially Mrs Maurine! Thank you guys at craft farms!

Jdt028, We appreciate the kind words and the great review. We hope to see you in the near future.

Alan,
Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide a 5 star. We look forward to your return visit!
I played early morning and was paired with one gentleman. We didn’t see anyone else on the course until the 16th hole. Great layout, fair and challenging. Course was aerated the week before so the greens bumpy. Looking forward to playing there again to see what the greens are normally like. Staff from the bag drop area to the bartenders in the restaurant were awesome!!! I will definitely play there again!

Really appreciate the recognition of our Team at Craft Farms. These comments will be shared and appreciate the 5 star! WE can't wait until your return visit.
The course had been aerated just a few days before otherwise I would have given it five stars all the way around. For what it cost us to play it was a tremendous value.
Another Great Experience at Craft Farms!
I play here often, in fact, I'm considering joining the club as soon as I acquire a home on the course, which I working hard to make happen! I had a couple of out-of-town guests who were first-timers at Cotton Creek. Paola at the desk in the Pro Shop was cheerful, friendly and helpful. We had a delightful lunch, hit a few range balls and teed off right on time. We all loved the course and the play was challenging because it was windy and was my guests first, but certainly not their last, time to play it. All in all...a great day!
Experience of a Life Time!!!
This is definitely my favorite Golf courses ever and I have played golf in many places and for this price tag you can’t really beat it. Between the friendliness of the staff to the amazing greens and free practice range it is a experience that you just won’t forget. Super amazing place to play!
Staff was unorganized and rude
I was early for my tee time and the starter told me to go ahead about forty minutes early. As I approached the 12th tee, I was accosted by a course ranger. He was rude to me and accused me of playing without a starter’s permission. There was absolutely no one on the course and I was enjoying my round until I was abruptly interrupted. To say the least, I will not be back. The Pro Shop seemed indifferent to the ranger’s issue with me. I was charged $95 for the round and was treated like a second class citizen. I still can’t believe the way I was treated.
Thank you for the 4 Star. Come see us soon.
