| COTTON
CREEK |
|
Craft Farms Coastal Golf Resort in Gulf Shores is home to
Cotton Creek, the original Palmer design on the Alabama Gulf
Coast.
Cotton Creek offers a unique setting combining the mystique
of golf legend Arnold Palmer with Southern hospitality and
charm. Over-seeded wall-to-wall during the winter and spring
months, this gem of a course is always lush and green and
a pleasure to play 12 months a year.
Featuring rolling fairways and large undulating greens,
Cotton Creek 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.

| LOST
KEY |
 |
"Lost Land" was the romantic Spanish name for
Perdido Key, and it will live on at Lost Key Golf Club.
This Arnold Palmer signature course plays to a par 72 and
captures the natural beauty of this barrier island.
Lost Key Golf Club's presence has set a "new standard
of golf" on the Gulf Coast. Challenging for all golfers,
Lost Key means great golf in the most traditional sense...
personal attentiveness of the PGA staff, well-maintained
playing surfaces and an environmentally friendly course
which has achieved signature status with Audubon International.
The course is the first to feature certified "Floradwarf"
greens, which translate into smoother and faster putting
surfaces normally associated with Bent grass. To help guide
you through the course, we have equipped each golf cart
with the ProShot Omni Golf System, a computerized yardage
system that will give you critical distances as well as
playing tips.
Lost Key Golf Club provides all the amenities of the finest
private clubs, yet is open to the public. Come play the
course "where nature and sport reside in harmony."

| ROCK
CREEK |
 |
If you've never played one of the nearly 50 courses designed
by veteran architect Earl Stone, the Gulf Shores Golf Association
offers three of his very best. The first is the 18-hole
layout at Rock Creek Golf Club, one of the most challenging
and grandly surprising courses in lower Alabama.
The surprise at Rock Creek is the stunning topography,
with some of Baldwin County's highest elevations overlooking
freshwater wetlands and the Rock Creek basin. The tall pines
and hardwoods that line nearly every fairway only enhance
the visual effect.
Centerpiece of the master-planned Rock Creek residential
community, this Earl Stone championship golf course is one
that the serious golfer won't want to miss. Rock Creek also
features full clubhouse amenities, including a complete
lunch menu and group outing banquet facilities, as well
as certified golf instruction on a hilltop practice tee
that must be seen to be appreciated.
