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.

wvacation
Played here 3 times in 3 days. Loved the course. No houses or subdivision around course My son and I played. 17 miles from our condo in Perdido Key.
This course has been neglected since I had last played here.
I used to look forward to playing this course every time we came to the beach for vacation. Unfortunately that is not true anymore. What a shame, this used to be the premier hidden jewell on the Alabama coast but no more. Crab grass in fairways, bunkers over taken by weeds and bushes, tee boxes in poor condition just to mention a few things. Will not be back and will tell all my friends to stay away. How unfortunate. Horefully these comments will inspire the owners to improve the course back to the condition it once was.
turnaround
Received an email from the course a couple of weeks ago to come out again and play a round again because the last time I played there they just aerated the greens and no one said anything about it. Let me tell you that the greens are in great shape and the course looks completely different. The bunkers had maintenance done on them and looks like they are cutting the brush back away. Will be coming again soon to play this course. It was a good day on the course.
Very pleased and can't wait to go back
The owner was very friendly. The course was in great shape and the golf carts seemed brand new. Worth every penny!
Not worth the drive
Course was neglected badly. The fairways needed cut and tee box was like hitting out of the rough. There was also no aeration alert, as they had been punched recently and real bumpy.
The good thing was the course was fairly empty and the round only lasted about 2.5 hours.
Not a good time to play
First of all, they course should tell you that the greens had just been aerated before you pay to play. Putts looked like a pinball machine, bouncing left and right. The fairways looked as if they had not been mowed in a week. Guessing due to rain. Great layout though. Just not as I remember it being several years back when it was a really nice course. Will probably give it another try down the road.
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek. We are sorry that you were not told the greens were aerated. Hope to see you at the course again!
so so condition
Looks like they just aerated the greens not too long a go. They were bumpy but punted ok. The bunkers were not in the best of shape either.
Thank you for you review. We are sorry that the greens were recently aerified. Come see us again when the green are back in shape.
Great Hidden Gem
Rain has kept fairways from premium manicuring and greens verticut or would be five stars easily. Absolutely love it and would like to see 150 yard confidence markers added. There are 100 in plain sight. Will return again and again!
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek! We are glad that you enjoyed the course. See you soon!
Amazing Course!
Beautiful scenery, well maintained turf, and an amazing experience. I will definitely be back. One of the best in Mobile/Baldwin County.
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek! We are glad that you enjoyed the golf course. See you soon!
Outing at soldier creek
We enjoyed our time there. It was a family outing and we had some new golfers. There was not a problem there. The bugs were a little irritating but I think that is the way it is in the south.
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek! We are glad that you were able to take the family out and enjoy the course. Come back and see us!
Soldiers Creek
Played during the week on a very hot summer day. Greens were near perfect, fairways were lush and pace of play was outstanding.
Staff was exceptionally friendly too.
Only negative was the heat and some gnats that buzzed around a bit.
The GolfNow deal on this courses was awesome too! Played for $16.00 each. Cannot beat that price for a course in this good of condition.
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek! We are glad that you enjoyed your round and thought the course was in great shape. Please come see us again!
Rip off
Booked time for around 8:30 seemed fine when we got there but parking was a little empty I thought I soon found out why we were only able to play 7 holes on the front 9 because the knats were so thick it was like nothing I've ever had to deal with before so we drove back to the club house and I explained what the situation was and asked simply for a refund for 9 holes not only would they not I believe they knew how the conditions were out on the course before we showed up they wanted cut me a rain check but acted even reluctant to do that since it wasn't raining the mgr solution was to hand me a can of cutter and say this is what a lot of our players use that's ridiculous I said and explained we were from out of town and a rain check would do me no good but these swindlers wouldn't budge or try to even work something out at all they just knew they already had our $$ and we were stuck in a bad situation so if I was going to gulf shores stay from this tourist trap
Thank you for your review. We try to accommodate every golfer’s request, but we have certain policies and procedures that we have to follow. We take pride in the quality of our course and will look into your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that we were only able to give you a rain check.
Fun course to play
The course was very fun to play. Greens were in great shape, as was the rest of the course. The staff was very nice and made sure we knew where the practice green and range were at. Can't wait for our family trip again next summer to come back and play here again!
Thank you so much for your review and playing Soldier's Creek! We take pride in our course conditions and are glad that you thought the course was in great shape. See you next summer!
I really liked this course
Course was set up nice for an average player like myself. Greens had some weeds in then but greens we nice other than hole 1. Speed of the greens on the slower end. Overall I really liked the course and will be back.
Memorial Weekend Vacation
The course has a good layout. Memorial Day weekend did not have a lot of play probably due to the inconsistent weather pattern.
Great layout
The course is located in the middle of nowhere. I thought it had a great layout and was in good condition. I started as a single and joined up with a twosome at the turn. We were held up by several foursomes playing slower than normal. The course has no Marshal so you must be patient to play here. I paid the super special rate of $36 and thought it was a fair deal.
Get the GolfNow HotDeal
Played this course as a single, played from the tips, finished in 2:45. Grass on some tee boxes was scant. Greens, however, rolled true - not too fast but not slow, either. Certainly some of the best greens in the area (there was a problem with the right quadrant of the first green, but the others were very good). Fairways were firm and fast. Got lots of roll out on drives that found the fairway. Overall it was a fun course to play, but certainly not difficult. I'm a 5.6 index and shot 78. I purchased the GolfNow HotDeal for an afternoon tee time. Total cost was about $40. As a budget-conscious golfer, that's about as much as I would pay to play here, but I would recommend visitors to the area give this course a chance. Great pace of play and an extremely friendly staff.
Worth the Money?
This is a nice course, but for almost $60 ($54 +tax) I've played better. We enjoyed ourselves, and the layout was nice, but we would have felt better paying around $45. Yes, I'm a senior.
# 15 tricky don't go to the right or it will go out of bounds on 2nd shot
Always a pleasure to play there but is a little expensive for the value unless you can get a deal.
Great Golf experience
Nice challenging golf course. Staff was very friendly and accomodating.Look forward to coming back and playing this course again.
Thank you for playing Soldier's Creek. We notify golfers for a week after the greens have been aerated. Hope to see you again.
