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. Relax and enjoy a round of golf in this natural setting.

Soldier creek Golf Club
Good course in relatively good condition. Helpful staff.
Nice Vacation Course
Pretty fun little trek. Greens weren't in very good shape, but they recently (10 days) plugged them. Overall not very challenging but a few holes. Not a lot of water. Pretty open. Fun course.
One of my favorite
Overall great course. Great layout and friendly staff. Greens had damage due to recent weather. Still a wonderful relaxing course.

Favorite course near Pensacola fl
Just ok
Justin okay course but not bad for the money $15
Great course
Me and a couple of friends booked a tee time after reading a couple of reviews, and I have to tell you, it was well worth it. We had a blast and the owners were so nice. I am a low handicap, and it was just fun to play. The greens rolled true and held the ball great, but like a bunch of courses right now, they are fighting the drought. A couple of greens had a few rough spots on them but if you are a decent iron player then there should be no problem for you. This is a great course, with great people running it and you will have a blast playing it!
Great course
I have played this course several times and I have enjoyed it every time , the fairway the greens and the pace of play. Great course for the money
Course in bad shape
Have played this course before and it was a hidden gem. Right now, they should close it and do some heavy maintanence. The good greens on the back are so-so. The greens on the front are horrible. Would need to see some good reviews of this course before I would go back.
NICE COURSE TO PLAY
Course is nice to play greens are in great condition except for a couple that need some tlc. I like the country setting no houses around just nature!!!!!! Plenty water coolers on the course you will need in South AL VERY HOT!!!!!!!!
Great layout, But needs serious attention!!
I had read some reviews that the greens on the front side may be in bad shape. However, I couldn't turn down a $23 Hot deal. Now I wish I would have looked somewhere else. The upside is that the course is a nice layout. I like the setup, and Soldiers Creek has some neat dogleg holes, and the bunkers are placed in fair locations. The fairways were easy to play from, and the rough was a little more difficult, but it was very fair. Then there are the greens. I was told to start on the back 9, which is OK. I hit the practice greens right before my round, and I had to really swing my putter to get a ball to the hole. I thought the greens on the course would be different. THEY WERE NOT!! I have putted from fringe that is cut lower than these greens. Then I got to the front 9. The rough was not as lush, and the greens were scorched. Frankly there were spots where the green was simply unplayable. Plus the parts of the green that were playable were silly slow as well.
This could be a really neat course, but simply the person in charge of managing the course has failed to understand how to make it playable for the public. Hopefully they can fix this issue.
coarse great shape
Coarse is in great shape! I've played 7 local coarses in the last month and Soldiers Creek was by far in the best shape of all of them. Coarse has a Falling Oaks type feel because your out in nature with no houses. It's just you and the trees. Rairly did we see any other people. If I had the chance I'd play there every day and twice on Sunday.
Soldiers Creek
Great layout, service good, beautiful course, very reasonable costwise. Enjoyed 27 holes on a 90% day. Not crowded on Monday.
Fairways
The fairways are like carpet and the back nine greens are in great shape. The front nine is like all other courses in the area being aerated and sanded to regroup from winter and spring use. The owners are ever so conscious of how the course is condition and playability. We have called when we see something like a broken sprinkler head or something trivial and they are on the problem asap..As a member I choose my memberships very carefully and Soldiers Creek gives me and other member respect and courtesy.
Great course!!
Love this course! Always in great shape! What they consider as "bad conditions" is what other courses consider as good conditions.
Wasted Money
Played on $20 hot deal and that was too much.
This course is a cow pasture.
Fairways 3" high and bare sand greens.
Nice course, you get to use all your clubs.
Good course back greens great, front greens are being worked with.. Overall good course for the bucks..
Norman is awesome!!
This is a good place to get some home town golf played.
Thanks NORM!
I have played some of the Florida courses as I was a resident for 40 years and this coursein great shape compared to a good number of florida courses
