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.

Nice layout
I enjoyed my round, but the greens are in rough shape. I may try playing here again in about a month and hopefully the greens will be in better shape
Tee time for 5/18
The course was closed so didn't get to play or notification.
could be 5 star
The greens were tore up and under repair, but the rest of the experience was great.
Don’t waste your money!
Fairways rock hard. Greens on front nine especially were a disaster! See photos. Paid $50…$25 would have been too much! Avoid this course!!!
Photos wouldn’t load. They show greens in horrible condition, with more sand than grass.
Excellent course offf the beaten path
This was a great course for the money especially considering the other courses in the area. The greens were not in tip top condition but would play again in the future
Not good
Look, I wanted to like this course but every green was in horrendous shape. Either hard with dead grass and covered in sand or being invaded by a different species of grass. A straight putt was impossible. T boxes were similar condition. The staff were nice. I wish that was enough to make a return visit but not without a serious investment.
Terrible
This course shouldn’t even be open, i don’t know what has happened here, but its a disaster. No grass anywhere, greens basically unusable. Shouldn’t cost more than $10 to play and at that might be too much. Wish they’d been honest on their condition on their site. Wasted a day of vacation golf trip playing this course. Very disappointed and a waste of money and time. Play anywhere else. Hopefully they get things right out there, but its awful now.
Country Course near Elberta, AL
Nice layout. Not very busy. Only drawback was the greens - very poor shape.
Fun round
I enjoyed myself. The course was in mediocre shape. But I do realize that it is coming out of the winter dodrums. I would play it again though.
Back on the list
Much better than a few years ago. The pro shop attendant was polite and friendly. The winds were 18-20 mph, but so much of the course is lined with tall pines, the wind was only a factor on a few shots. We all enjoyed it.
