About this course

Cotton Creek is one of two 18-hole courses at Craft Farms in Gulf Shores, Alabama, set a short drive inland from the Gulf Coast beaches in Baldwin County.

The course was designed by Arnold Palmer and features tree-lined, rolling fairways with numerous lakes and dwarf Bermuda turf typical of the coastal region. Water comes into play on many of the holes, with large, undulating greens that reward accurate approach shots.

Cotton Creek operates as a public resort course open to visitors and resort guests, with tee packages available. The facility includes a clubhouse with dining and is part of a 36-hole complex alongside the Cypress Bend course, playable year-round in the mild Gulf Coast climate.
