Consistently Good Golf

“The hallmark of a good golfer is consistency” – Author Unknown

Truer words have never been spoken. The same can be said for a golf course. The hallmark of a good golf facility is consistently good golf, service and amenities. Craft Farms is a good golf course.

Actually, it’s two good courses. Cotton Creek features tight, rolling fairways, frequently bracketed by lakes. The distance goes from a player friendly 6000 yards to a very challenging 7200+ yards from the tips. Cypress Bend offers wide fairways, large landing areas and large undulating greens. However, water comes into play on most of the holes, as well as featuring some greens well protected by bunkers. The courses are Alabama’s only Arnold Palmer creations and have five sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels. Like all Palmer courses they feature numerous risk/reward opportunities.

The friendly, knowledgeable staff in the Pro Shop are always ready to serve. The Cotton Creek Clubhouse is more of an upscale restaurant and sports bar than the average golf course sandwich shop. The driving range and the two putting greens are consistently in excellent shape.

Make a golf trip to the coast and include a couple of rounds at Craft Farms in the mix. Good times, great golf and service are a sure thing at Craft Farms.
