Check out these 17
Gulf Shores area golf courses and our 32 miles of
white sugar sand beaches. With our mild climate, this area is quickly becoming one of
America's top golf vacation destinations. The Alabama Gulf Coast has clean, safe beaches,
1000's of acres of dedicated wildlife areas, historic sites, deep sea fishing, a variety
of restaurants, fascinating shopping and zillions of holes of golf. We have
championship courses for the serious golfer that also delight the fun loving golfers of
all ages and skill levels. The Gulf State Park Golf Course is particularly fun for
youngsters as you are very likely to spot an alligator or two as well as aquatic birds and
wildlife.

Craft Farms Golf Resort is planning for the last days of The Woodlands Golf Course after it was sold last week to Birmingham-based Colonial Properties Trust, which plans to turn the golf course into a residential and retail development.
Cotton Creek Golf Course and Cypress Bend Golf Course, the two Arnold Palmer-designed championship courses also a part of Craft Farms, will not be affected, but Woodlands is scheduled to close for public play on Oct. 16.
According to owner Robert Craft they are going to do something special for three or four days for the local people who have supported them over the years. they'll have an extraordinarily reduced rate or no rate at all, he said.
"We're still putting some things together for the last day. When we turn the lights off on the 20th, the lights will be off."
The Woodlands has been a very popular upscale courses in Baldwin County because of its beautiful natural setting and a the limited degree of difficulty that favored by high handicappers.
Its prime location on the west side of Gulf Shores Parkway, just as you enter Gulf Shores, make it a valuable piece of property.
Woodlands Golf Course averaged 45,000 rounds per year over the last 10 years.
The two other Craft Farms courses, both beautiful also, Cotton Creek and Cypress Bend, should absorb those golfers and it will be good for those locations.
