COTTON CREEK |
|
Craft Farms Coastal Golf Resort in Gulf Shores
is home to Cotton Creek, the original Palmer
design on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
Cotton Creek offers a unique setting combining
the mystique of golf legend Arnold Palmer with
Southern hospitality and charm. Over-seeded
wall-to-wall during the winter and spring months,
this gem of a course is always lush and green
and a pleasure to play 12 months a year.
Featuring rolling fairways and large undulating
greens, Cotton Creek is very playable from the
forward tees and a true championship challenge
of over 7,000 yards from the tips. True to its
Palmer design, this traditional 18-hole masterpiece
was laid out to challenge rather than intimidate,
with numerous risk/reward opportunities throughout.

LOST KEY |
 |
"Lost Land" was the romantic Spanish name
for Perdido Key, and it will live on at Lost
Key Golf Club. This Arnold Palmer signature
course plays to a par 72 and captures the natural
beauty of this barrier island.
Lost Key Golf Club's presence has set a "new
standard of golf" on the Gulf Coast. Challenging
for all golfers, Lost Key means great golf in
the most traditional sense... personal attentiveness
of the PGA staff, well-maintained playing surfaces
and an environmentally friendly course which
has achieved signature status with Audubon International.
The course is the first to feature certified
"Floradwarf" greens, which translate into smoother
and faster putting surfaces normally associated
with Bent grass. To help guide you through the
course, we have equipped each golf cart with
the ProShot Omni Golf System, a computerized
yardage system that will give you critical distances
as well as playing tips.
Lost Key Golf Club provides all the amenities
of the finest private clubs, yet is open to
the public. Come play the course "where nature
and sport reside in harmony."

ROCK CREEK |
 |
If you've never played one of the nearly
50 courses designed by veteran architect Earl
Stone, the Gulf Shores Golf Association offers
three of his very best. The first is the 18-hole
layout at Rock Creek Golf Club, one of the most
challenging and grandly surprising courses in
lower Alabama.
The surprise at Rock Creek is the stunning
topography, with some of Baldwin County's highest
elevations overlooking freshwater wetlands and
the Rock Creek basin. The tall pines and hardwoods
that line nearly every fairway only enhance
the visual effect.
Centerpiece of the master-planned Rock Creek
residential community, this Earl Stone championship
golf course is one that the serious golfer won't
want to miss. Rock Creek also features full
clubhouse amenities, including a complete lunch
menu and group outing banquet facilities, as
well as certified golf instruction on a hilltop
practice tee that must be seen to be appreciated.
