Great experience, the staff is very friendly and accommodating

This was the second year in a row that I've taking my son and grandson to play golf here. We've now played both course and both times were great experiences. The most constant thing about playing at Craft Farms is the professionalism of the staff. From the time you arrive and throughout the round, the staff is extremely kind and accommodating. The courses are both challenging and fair to all levels of golfers. I would highly recommend playing at Craft Farms if you're visiting the Gulf Shores area.

Great pro shop at Cotton Creek

Wanted to offer my compliments to "Paola" in the pro shop. She is friendly, courteous and a huge golf club asset for us visitors. She was extremely helpful to my wife and I as we wanted to purchase clothing items as mementoes of our visit. Paola made it fun in doing that. A great day at Cotton Creek??

We play here all winter and i had to pass on my compliments to Paola in the golf shop. She is always friendly and very kind and helpful. This is a very busy place at times and she still tries to stay composed and smile on her face. In today's world you don't seem to see this much.

She is a great asset for this golf shop.

Enjoyable round

Very enjoyable round with good playability while still moderately challenging. Most challenging were the greens which were very fast and in great condition

Must Play

This course is a must play if you're looking for a course in the Orange Beach area. Staff is great and the course is fantastic. Plus, they make a great apple cider old fashioned. :)

Great Time in Gulf Shores

We purchased a Craft Farms 6 pack in November to cover our golf plans for a brief stay in Gulf Shores. We actually played both courses over 3 days, Cypress Bend once and Cotton Creek twice. Both courses were in very good condition for the time of year. Staff at all levels provided us with a very warm and friendly reception. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course and would certainly play it again. Great value for the money.
