Save Your Money and Frustration Level

This course recommended by friends, so opted to play this instead of returning to Perdido Bay Golf Club. Afterward, wish we had gone back to Perdido Bay. We arrived 30 minutes early only to encounter a logjam in the Pro Shop. One person attempting to check in a group of 11. Took forever during which time we were aware that other staffers were in the clubhouse but never came out to help. Wound up getting to our carts a minute before tee time with the Starter aggravated we weren't ready to go. Didn't matter anyway as a group of five were still in the fairway. Not sure how they had it spread out on the teesheet but they obviously weren't putting groups 10 minutes apart. Pace of play was slow with no marshal to keep people from playing multiple balls. Finally managed to get around the five-some at the turn and never saw them again. All going well until the 18th hole. Hit a perfect drive landed 90-yards from the green. Getting ready to hit my approach shot when interrupted by a staffer coming to inquire about my service dog. I did mention ahead when I made the reservation that I was diabetic and would be bringing the dog with me. The starter of course saw the dog and I believe I mentioned to him that she was my service dog. Got upset and flubbed my shot which is on me. No such issues at Perdido Bay which was a prettier course with better fairways and greens and priced about $50 cheaper per person - a savings of $200 for my family.

Excellent experience all-around!

My round at Cotton Creek was a 10/10. The course was in excellent shape — the tee boxes were mostly level and well-manicured, and the greens were fast and true. The layout is excellent with several different tee levels and a nice mix of par 3s and 5s. The parking-lot, golf-cart greeter after my round (Bob, maybe?) was super friendly and very informative. Paola in the pro shop was incredibly kind and so personable. She even reopened the pro shop for me to buy some golf hats as she was locking the door to leave for the night. I will definitely be back next time I’m in Gulf Shores!
