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.

Great layout in a natural setting
The proshop lady was awesome. Really laid it out simple and was customer oriented. The course is coming into shape, the tee boxes and fairways were primarily in great condition, some greens were still spotty on the edges. Great for high handicap players, there are some opportunities for birdies and eagles if you play it right. Would play again.
Great Day of Golf
I really like this course, it winds through the woods. Holes are interesting. The greens are just coming out of winter and were bumpy, but I think they will be really nice in a month.
Interesting Course
I found the course challenging and interesting. The spring grass is coming up nicely and should be in great shape in a couple of weeks. Lots of green side bunkers and a few hidden water holes. I will be playing it again soon.
Fun and Rewarding
This course makes you feel comfortable. The layout is challenging without being oppressive. Pars are out there, Pay attention to the elevated greens
Course was in pretty good shape. Front nine better condition than the back
Hidden Gem
I had read the reviews of other previous golfers and almost passed on this course. We played on a Monday at 11am as a 2 some and finished in 3 hours. Course layout was nice and challenging, I am a single handicap golfer. I played with my wife and we decided that we would roll the ball from everywhere and that was needed that in March, since the growing grass was sparse. As others had mentioned the conditions of the grass, they are correct. But we were playing/practicing golf in March at 1/3 the price of other courses in the area. The guy mowing the fairways would stop and turn off his mower when near you. We have played a round 20 courses around Gulf Shores and that was the first time that has happened. We will be coming back to this course because of the course layout, pace and price.
Greens hold very well
A shot to the green from 100 yrds+ out holds extremely well. This is always a fun course to play. The only issue today was all the water jugs were dry!
WITH TWELVE YOU GET SLOW PLAY
Front nine was going well but slowed considerably when we got to #9. The back nIne was a nightmare. 3 plus hours for 9 holes with cart. Turns out the course had allowed a birthday party with 12 people on the back nine.
When we finally were allowed to play through (on the 17th hole) ALL TWELVE WERE PLAYING THE SAME HOLE.....NO RANGERS.... 12 DRUNKS IN CARTS. APPARENTLY THEY STARTED AT 11AM AND THEY FINISHED AFTER WE DID AT 4:30....NOT BAD FOR NINE HOLES
Pleasantly Intimate Holes
This course is great fun to play. The holes are lined with mature trees such that you can only see the hole you are playing whilst playing. There are plenty of rolling hills and the fairways are sufficiently wide. Greens hold well and faster than most
Needs winter maintainance
Can always get on this course...(there is a reason). This course is a great layout and pleasing to the eye EXCEPT they put no work into it to make winter play look more like summer...no overseading and spray painting the greens green.
Review
Already reviewed this course twice but golf now keeps emailing me to rate it again.
Golf in Feb
Course layout is very good, moderate amount of grass on fairways and there are two to three types of grass growing on greens. This could be an excellent course
needs winter maintainance
not much grass on fairways and a lot of poa anna on the greens.
Great layout- nice hole separation
Course is fun, challenging & gives you the impression you’re the only ones there on each hole.
Only drawback is the last 2 time’s we played there inexperienced “golfers” jammed up the course.
Group in front of us had one bag for 2 people and neither of them belonged on a real course, parking 3 feet off greens, in front of greens, walking and driving like there was no tomorrow- had holes open in front of them forever but clueless as to letting anyone through.
No ranger to help - yet the starter camped on his spot on the #1 tee with nothing to do.
