Soldiers Creek Golf Club

Good course layout - fair and not tricked up. Nice scenery. We sailed around the front 9 only to run into golfers who held up the entire back nine. We had one group in front of us who were: unaware of where to park a cart, unable to know where their ball was in the fairway, unable to play ready golf (only one person out of a cart at a time), and poor golfers to boot. When they did move, they were surprisingly held up by a similar group in front of them. The rest of us got to wait as we piled up behind them. At one point we had 4 groups on a 350 yd. par 4. Good thing it was a beautiful day .

Played a few different courses in the Gulf Shores area and was pleasantly surprised by the condition of Soldiers Creek. While it has been a wet Winter this course drained well.staff was friendly and felt like we had the entire course to ourselves . Will definitely play this course again.

First time to play course in 4 years and was disappointed that the greens condition and also around the greens were not acceptable. Bare spots on the greens and around the greens. Bunker condition very poor not maintained. Will not play again until conditions are corrected. It’s sad to see this golf course go down it was a great venue.

I have played here 4-6 times, and keep hoping it will improve. Course is iff the beaten path, but close to our family home in Josephine.

Fairways are very wide and generally in good shape, as I would expect from. a turf farming family ownership.

Greens are generally slow and spotty, esp around fringe area.

Soldier Creek is nowhere to be found and layout is very straightforward with only 3 or 4 interesting holes.

Easy to get on, VERY basic clubhouse, and too expensive for what course offers.

If you want a quick and eady round, this may be for you.

Very helpful and friendly staff at Soldier's Creek. A solid course for the price. Some of the fairways and greens need some work, but the staff has informed me that they are addressing them. The course handled significant rain better than other courses in the area and was a fun course to play.

The lady at the clubhouse was very friendly and processed me through quickly.

They have a driving range and practice green.

Playing from the White tee markers, I was the first tee-time, 7:00a, playing single, so the pace of play was good. I later noticed that there was a threesome about three holes behind me, but they kept a good pace behind me.

Maintenance was mowing the first-cut of the fairways a few holes a head of me as I played.

The greens rolled well and had just been cut - you could see the machine tracks through the dew around the greens.

I thankfully didn't have to use the bunkers but even though they weren't all sugar-sanded, they looked like they were recently raked.

There is some water on the course but I think they are lateral hazards.

I enjoyed my time out there.

Some negative: It is pretty evident that a program of continual maintenance and improvement has not been performed over the years; concrete cart paths were broken up across the course with some sections framed out for re-pouring, trees and shrubs need pruning. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes reflected irregular herbicide and fertilizer treatment. The clubhouse felt very used and in need of refreshing and updating.

Since I went there to play golf (not socially) I feel that from a playing golf/testing your game viewpoint it was a good value - a reasonable layout that you can think your way through, fairways that rewarded accurate shots, accepting greens that rolled as expected.

I appreciated that tee times were not lined up every 7 minutes and a course Marshall wasn't hovering over everyone (I drove past a nearby course on the way back and saw a group on the tee box, a group on the fairway, and a group on green - all on the same hole. No thank you)

Although I would not categorize it as a "can't miss" the next time I'm in the area, I would definitely choose to play there again.

Greens are awful and there doesn’t seem to Be anything being done about it. I played the course twice in a 3 week interval and it remained the same. Absolutely not worth $45. Fix your course or lower the price.

Really nice layout! Staff is very friendly and accommodating! If you like nature this is your course!

Less than 18 months ago this course was a steal for the price at $35-45. Unfortunately it’s like they don’t even have a greens keeper anymore. I have worked at many golf courses and played every course in the area. 75% have their “bad days” but this is not that kind of story. Played a few months back expecting the same results at the same price and just utterly disappointed in how this course looks now. It’s gone from a high level course to an absolute goat ranch. No practice balls, no greens for that matter, and no Marshall. Pace of play was pathetic, loud twosome hitting in to me left and right when I’m playing up and down golf by myself and hurrying. That should never happen with at least 8-10 min tee time breaks. I ended up skipping two or three holes just to not have to feel rushed. The worst part of it all is when I played the first time I was so impressed I requested membership info and no one ever reached out to me. Upon my second visit I am thankful they never did or I would have ended up throwing money away like they are throwing this course away.

Great layout and great course but in terrible condition. Greens were muddy and had no grass mostly. If this course had some Tlc it could be great but overpriced. They want $50 but it is a $15 course.

I am sorry but I wanted to like this course. But it was horrible!! Greens were sand, tee box was three inches of crab grass, fairways were half dirt! This could be a great course if someone would put some time in to it.

Played this course two years ago and it was a high end course. This time not so much.

$50.00 is way to much. Several Tee's no grass. Numerous greens in bad shape.

Plenty of courses in the area that are in better shape in the $30 - $40 dollar range.

I've been playing this course for over 10 years, it's in the worst shape it has ever been in for this time of the year. Most of the greens are heavily painted and some of them are sanded to try to hide the lack of grass. Putting is a guess as far as speed is concerned. The fairways are quite sparse, might as well be playing in the parking lot.

I used to like this course, but now its not worth the drive from Gulf Shores to play.

Sorry to see this happen to what once was a pretty nice course

Some greens are worse than others, but the rain we've had this winter has taken its toll--lots of pooling and washout damage on a majority of the greens.

The price i paid--$46 + fees/tax-- is not commensurate with the condition of the course.

Really disappointed as the course is usually in good shape.

Showed up and had to show the guy at the pro shop my confirmation email to prove that I tee time through golf now, so there is obviously a disconnect between golf now and their in-house system.

Greens are in rough shape. Lots of dead/cracked areas from water pooling and large sections are patchy/caked sand.

Tee boxes are also struggling.

Not worth the $46.00+fees.

Upon first arriving to the course I was advised of the amount of rain that had occurred in the last month. The course was in good shape, but hole 11 did require you to stay on the cart path.

There greens rolled true, fairways were better than I'm used to, and the overall condition was fantastic; the rain did have the course somewhat soggy, but you can tell it is taken care of. The treeline is pretty dense, and not friendly to play out of.

The course was challenging enough, and would love to go back when I'm back in town. The craziest thing I've seen on a course was the green that was shared by two holes... There was a six foot Hill you could putt over if you send it long.
