Hit a Hole-In-One at These Gulf Shores Golf Courses

Cotton Creek at Craft Farms Golf Resort

Location: 3840 Cotton Creek Circle, Gulf Shores

This stunning, award-winning course was designed by the iconic golf legend, Arnold Palmer. Cotton Creek, along with its sister course (Cypress Bend), is one of the only two courses in Alabama designed by Palmer, and we are forever grateful to him for realizing the potential of our hometown. You’ll find that this golf course is challenging, but still accessible to players of all skill levels.

Cypress Bend at Craft Farms Golf Resort

The other 18-hole golf course at Craft Farms, Cypress Bend, features a coastal twist to golf. With acres of lush green grass winding through a variety of coastal lakes, this course is a sight to be seen. Palmer was careful not to alter the land; he merely tweaked the design to complement the gorgeous backdrop. Cypress Bend is a hometown favorite with worldwide appeal.
