Craft Farms Golf Resort (Cotton Creek)

Craft Farms Golf Resort (Cotton Creek) is an 18-hole Arnold Palmer design in Gulf Shores, Alabama, rated 4.6 by Hole19 golfers and carrying a Golf Digest 4-star rating. The layout plays across rolling fairways lined by trees, with lakes in play and large undulating greens throughout. Hole 6 is the most demanding on the card, calling for a well-placed tee shot over water to the fairway, then a second shot over water to reach the green. Instruction is available through the Jenkins Golf Academy, led by PGA and LPGA Director of Instruction Kristi Jenkins, who brings more than 20 years of experience. The pro shop carries top brands including Bad Birdies, Peter Millar, and FootJoy. The Bar and Grill overlooks Cotton Creek's 18th green and serves regional dishes and pub fare alongside a fully stocked bar. The plantation-style clubhouse also includes the Palmer Room banquet space and event facilities.
