About
The course at Soldiers Creek Golf Club was designed by Scott Clark, a former Golf Course Superintendent at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear Alabama and the current Superintendent at The Peninsula Golf Club in Gulf Shores Alabama. While this is Scott's first attempt in playing the role of a course architect, it also reveals his depth of experience in the golf course industry. The design goals of building a course that would be enjoyable for high handicappers as well as low handicappers was met in this design.
The course features wide player-friendly fairways. Also, water comes into play on only two holes which makes navigating this course easier for high handicappers. A large natural turf driving range and 10,000 square foot practice green is available as a warm-up or practice area.
Soldiers Creek Golf Club is owned by the Norman Woerner family. Norman is a member of the Woerner Turf family of sod producers. Woerner Turf is a world-wide leader in turf production. The company provides turf for many golf courses ranging from Augusta National to new courses in Hong Kong. They also supply the turf for the NFL Super Bowl and the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
Southern Turf Nurseries provided the Tif Eagle for Soldiers Creek Golf Club. This turf grass is considered by many to be the best-of-the-best turf for southern golf course greens. The fairways and roughs are Tif 419, a dense-growing emerald-colored grass that's perfect for plush fairways.The greens feature Tif Eagle, the newest and best-of-the-best southern turf grass for golf course greens. An increasingly popular choice for new golf courses and redesigns, this turf permits a closer cut, thus allowing for smoother, faster greens.

Vacation Tour
Always enjoy Soldiers Creek. Play once a year on vacation. Value is the best part. A little disappointed this time in the condition of the greens. I understand weather, etc. Need to mow all areas and NOT leave all of the grass, limbs, etc rolled up along the edges. One might have been able to bale hay on some of the fairways. I struggle enough with my driver and certainly don't need to lose a ball in the fairways
Decent course for the money
Greens were long and hair- probably due to the hot weather. Good course layout. Some greens had bare spots. Clubhouse lady is very friendly and accommodating.
Great course for the value.
If you’re looking for a value course while at the beach this one is very nice. Staff was extremely friendly and professional. Course was in good shape throughout. I had a great time playing it. Only about 30 minutes away from Gulf Shores.
Ninth green minimally playable
Course in pretty good shape overall but ninth green with sand dumped everywhere. And these folks have an unusual relationship with GolfNow, because of which they ask you to show proof of prepayment to GolfNow before you can check in. Most all other courses are notified of prepayment.
Needs attention
Fairways are "ok", good luck on most greens, some had giant holes filled with mud and sand. The greens need a lot of help... Fairwairs need attention. Overall I'd play 18 again for $25 , but not worth more than that.
Overall Fun Time at Soldier's Creek
Overall, I enjoyed the course. The weather was hot but there is plenty of shade to take advantage of. The only issue was the condition of the greens. Too many greens had bare spots. Considering the number of golfers I saw on the course and the condition of other courses in the area, I expected better.
Nice Course
Everything was goid for the price. A few of the greens had issues but nothing to go crazy about. Had a concern for a raccoon that came across the 18 tee box area but didn't bother me, hopefully didn’t have rabies.
Avoid this course for awhile!
As we were coming uo the ninth fairway, they were HEAVILY sanding the green, making it unplayable. Same thing on 18th. A few other greens in need of serious attention. I will avoid Soldier's Creek until the fall at least!
Good layout
Course layout is nice and fair. Greens were in rough shape with lots of bare and sandy areas. The greens that were in good shape had not been cut and extremely slow. Would love to play course again when greens are in better shape.
Almost great…
The greens were a big disappointment. Most had partial diseased grass, some more than others. 9 and 18 were almost completely destroyed. They are working on them and when they come back this course will be very nice.
Good Layout-Horrible Greens
Layout is good, fairways are in great condition but the greens are horrible. Probably 12 of the 18 greens have HUGE patches of no grass. The greens are heavily diseased and extremely bumpy. Player beware.
Wanted to love it
Really enjoyed the layout and the scenery. The fairways were nice the tee boxes needed a little work but the greens are in bad bad bad shape. I want to love this course but the greens really make that impossible. I hope they get it figured out because it is a bit expensive considering many of the greens are unplayable they’d be better off having temporary greens
I was a little nervous based on the recent reviews. But they had a good price so we gave it a shot. A few of the greens were pretty rough but over all we had a great day. I appreciate them lowering their price based on the course conditions. That was the right thing to do. But honestly compared to the tracks in Spanish fort it was wasn’t that bad. The green boxes and fairways were plush and 70 percent of the greens were good. I would go back. You can tell they are working on bringing it back up to par
