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.

Excellent greens
Course in good condition,despite recent heavy rains.2to 3 holes still damp.Greens in excellent condition and tue.Do not like gasoline/diesel powered bugees.Safety issues here.
Great course...hidden gem
The views and rolling hills make this course a bit challenging at times. Great value for the price! Staff is super friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help make your experience fun!
Great course
This course is a great course for intermediate to advanced playing. It has both length and accuracy components as it is cut out of woods. Its greatest attribute is its greens. The greens have both slope and speed. I definitely would call this a "players" course. I would give it a four star rating! I welcome any comments. Bruce Horrell- Golf Professional
Nice layout
Very nice layout and greens are very nice. Tee boxes were in terrible shape and fairway grass was very sparse and very hard. Like hitting off hardpan on every fairway.. Very scenic and was not very busy allowing my wife and I to play in just over 3 hours
great round of golf
great golf course to play when others are cart path only. great greens,fairways and bunkers
Much better options in Gulf Shores Area
The fairways had a lot of weeds and looked like they hadn't been mowed in a few days. The bunkers needed sand in them, as they didn't have enough in them to hit consistent bunker shots. The greens were fine, except for a couple on the first nine which had patches around the fringe that needed to be repaired. I paid $40 for an afternoon tee time, but wouldn't recommend paying more than $30 due to overall course conditions.

My friends and I are snow birds. We spend 6 months a year in southern Ala. We usually play golf 2 or 3 times a week at different golf courses in the area. We play Soldiers creek once a week for the last 5 years. No problems like the course. We are all Seniors over 65 years old on fixed incomes. We try to play the cheaper times , which usually was 39.99+ tax. This last year we tried coupons , The lady at the counter told us it wasn't as good as their senior rate. Know every time we go its a different price. Pricing is a joke for the area.
Indiana loves it
I just want to be a good source for accurate information. Soldiers Creek has the best greens in the gulf area. The course is serene and beautiful units layout. Not a trail to play but a challenge nonetheless. Ignore those who complain about the fairways if you play public in this area they all are about the same not so however with the greens, these are outstanding. Use golf now to your advantage and enjoy this course.
OMG
The condition of this course was among the worst that I have seen in playing over fifty years. The greens were OK. The rest was terrible. I think the amount of grass on the smallest green was more than all the fairways combined. We paid over $50.00 each with fees and extra taxes at the course for an experience that wasn't worth $20.00. The staff was friendly and polite. Beyond that everything was downhill. I would not recommend this course.
Pleasant Experience!
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Greens ran true and fast except around the hole sometime. Started at 9am with our foursome and didn't feel pushed most of the day. This has been one of our favorite golf courses to play in the area!
Greens are great
Enjoy playing playing this course friendly staff greens are excellent it is a chalenge to play love it will keep coming back
great golf
This is one of the best golf course on the gulf coast.
Great course for nature - Must play
You don't see any houses and the fairways are nicely isolated. There are traps and some water, and you do not want to hit it to far off the fairways - woods! Like this course a lot. It is a must play if you live here or are vacationing!
Nice Course - Doesn't Rain here!!
Rain predicted all day, early tee time, not a drop in site. Nice course, fast pace of play, green in good shape and actually green
Nice Course
Course has a nice mix of short, long holes, doglegs and wide fairways. Greens run true and are in good condition. This is really a nice course that allows for an enjoyable, fun round. I will play again.
Pace of play very poor
Have played this course several times and they are always 15-20 minutes behind. The pace of play is always slow and rangers are nowhere to be found. If you like waiting after each shot this is your course.
great value
Could drive on fairways the day after heavy rains. Most area courses were cart path only. Greens are in excellent condition...hold great and putt true.
