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.
Located only several miles from Alabama's sun-kissed Gulf Coast, this new 18 hole championship course is part of the Woerner Preserve Resort. Our friendly staff welcomes you to play the newest course on the Gulf Coast. Yes, we are now open. Come spend some time with family or friends.

Nature All Around
This may not be the best course based on conditions or amenities, however, if you want to enjoy nature on a good, but not great course, Soldiers Creek is for you.
We teed off at 2:10 and were finished at 5:20. Incredible pace of play and we let another group play through.
Course:
Tee boxes: Most are in good shape except a couple that receive limited sunshine.
Fairways: Improving and will be nice once the Pua burns out.
Greens: Replaced last year and are in good shape. I believe they should be better after spending so much on redoing them. Several have crab grass in several spots and the annual Pua. That said, they rolled consistent.
Rough: Keep it in the fairway. The first cutis good, after that very inconsistent due to different grasses and weeds.
Overall: A nice course with a good layout, fun holes, and NATURE. A little more time and course TLC and this would be a 4.5.
Beautiful Course
The course is very green grass and the greens are very nice.
Excellent course excellent value
First time playing and was extremely pleased. I can only imagine how beautiful this course is when everything greens up. Loved the layout.
I played kiva dunes the day before for 3x the price….never again. This place will be my go to when I’m back in the gulf shores area.
DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE BY!!!!
Hopfully the course is better in the summer
Played today. Course was in horrible, almost unplayable conditions. I know the grass is somewhat dormant this time of year but there wasnt anything to grow. Layout is great and may have been a good course at one time. Laughed at the mowers out just blowing dirt. Dont waste the drive.
Feb golf
First time playing here but I would imagine this is a really nice track later in the year.
The tree lined course is a nice layout with challenges but wide fairways where needed to navigate various dogleg bends.
Would play again!
Nice track
Th course layout and design are very nice. Greens are well taken care of and roll pure. This course will test your game and the scenery is also very nice. Overall it’s well worth the price.
Amazing for a winter round
I am from Georgia and came down to visit some family for the holidays. I came out for a 7:30 AM tee time on a cool December morning. No bad tee boxes no bad greens. Everything was in great shape for the time of year. Spoke with a worker after the round and found out this course recently changed hands within the family functions off of mostly volunteer work. Great experience with a very friendly staff and will come back.
Nice track
One of the friendliest staffs I have ever met. The pro shop was extra kind and it made my group feel very comfortable. The greens were a little rough but the tight fairways and layout made this course a challenge. Go play this hidden gem, you won’t regret it.
Didn’t honor rate
The course didn’t honor the booking rate. Golf now quote said $119 owed at the course. They charged us $55 per person at the course. 3 people.
Also booked a 3:40 tee time for 18 holes. Course closed at 6pm. Sprinklers turned on could finish last 3 holes. Poor customer service.
The course itself was nice.
Poor advertising
Booked our round through Golf now. When we got to the course, they charged us $55 around per person instead of the $42 advertised. Also did not share with us that the course closed at 6 o’clock sprinklers were turned on and we were unable to finish the last three holes.
Lost in a forest
For the front nine, there was nobody around, felt like I was alone in the middle of a forest, it felt awesome! Greens are better than your standard public course. Overall, great round, well, almost, on the 12th I caught up to 2 foresomes, so I just left ...
Soldier Creek Labor Day Golf
Course was in very good condition. The pace of play was excellent, and I caught up with some good people who also enjoyed the course and the game.
For the money it’s a nice course
Good course for the money , nice staff and nice greens. They even sell cigars !
