Craft Farms - Gulf Shores

Nice fun layout, but take bug spray with you. The gnats are crazy annoying.

love it, really fun track and was in great shape a couple of years ago.

They're both fun tracks that's always been in good shape when I've played there. You should enjoy it. Peninsula and Craft Farms are the courses I consider fun, forgiving golf at a nice course

Craft Farms was really nice when I played it. I played both, but neither were overly memorable. The quintessential neighborhood course, which I guess is cool if it wasn't surrounded by much better options.

This is the breakdown I typically paste into Gulf Shores golf threads. It isn't answering your question, really, but figured I'd share anyway.




Soldier’s Creek- Never played it, but it is owned by the Woerner’s (Turf company), so I assume the grass is green.

Peninsula- If you are going to drive there, play Kiva Dunes.. if you can’t afford it, play Gulf Shores Golf Club, but if you play Peninsula, enjoy an apple from the barrel between nines.

GSCC- Great course, one of my favorites in Alabama. Difficult layout, but fair.

Craft Farms- Nice but nothing special. You will leave your round and say “wow, that was a well-kept course, but something I could have played in Baton Rouge.” That statement applies to both courses.

Kiva Dunes- It is the quintessential gulf coast golf course. It’s just off the beach and is home to some of the most picturesque holes in the South. It is unbearably difficult from the tips with the wind, but from up a tee, it becomes manageable and fun. It is always in good shape and has an excellent practice facility.

Perdido Bay Golf Club- Nice, but difficult. It is in close proximity to Lost Key.

Lost Key- known as Lost Ball. That should tell you everything you need to know.

GlenLakes Golf Club- you can book four people for like $17 a person. It’s a nice course as well. Definitely the best bang for your buck, by far.

State Park- walked off after 18 and said, we'll, it was still golf. Too many other options to play here.

But I would play Rock Creek on the way up or back. One of my all time favorite courses.

Craft Farms is great but Kiva is fantastic.

Just played Craft Farms and Peninsula. Both were in very good shape. A lot of the courses on the Gulf Coast were hit hard by the rains and recovering from winter, but these two were good. Played TimberCreek on the way down and it was in good shape also.
