About the Course
Featuring rolling fairways and large undulating greens, Cotton Creek at Craft Farms Golf Resort 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. Golf Digest has consistently rated Cotton Creek as one of the Best Places to Play.! This 4-star course, located in Gulf Shores, Ala., features tree-lined, rolling fairways surrounded by lakes. The 6th hole is the most challenging on Cotton Creek. With a well-placed tee shot over water to the fairway, the second shot also requires a smart swing over more water to the green. A birdie on this hole delights anyone who rises to meet its challenge.
