The course at Soldiers Creek Golf Club was designed by Scott Clark, a former Golf Course Superintendent at The Grand Hotel in Point Clear Alabama and the current Superintendent at The Peninsula Golf Club in Gulf Shores Alabama. While this is Scott's first attempt in playing the role of a course architect, it also reveals his depth of experience in the golf course industry. The design goals of building a course that would be enjoyable for high handicappers as well as low handicappers was met in this design.

The course features wide player-friendly fairways. Also, water comes into play on only two holes which makes navigating this course easier for high handicappers. A large natural turf driving range and 10,000 square foot practice green is available as a warm-up or practice area.

Soldiers Creek Golf Club is owned by the Norman Woerner family. Norman is a member of the Woerner Turf family of sod producers. Woerner Turf is a world-wide leader in turf production. The company provides turf for many golf courses ranging from Augusta National to new courses in Hong Kong. They also supply the turf for the NFL Super Bowl and the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

Southern Turf Nurseries provided the Tif Eagle for Soldiers Creek Golf Club. This turf grass is considered by many to be the best-of-the-best turf for southern golf course greens. The fairways and roughs are Tif 419, a dense-growing emerald-colored grass that's perfect for plush fairways.The greens feature Tif Eagle, the newest and best-of-the-best southern turf grass for golf course greens. An increasingly popular choice for new golf courses and redesigns, this turf permits a closer cut, thus allowing for smoother, faster greens.

Located only several miles from Alabama's sun-kissed Gulf Coast, this new 18 hole championship course is part of the Woerner Preserve Resort. Our friendly staff welcomes you to play the newest course on the Gulf Coast. Yes, we are now open. Come spend some time with family or friends. Relax and enjoy a round of golf in this natural setting.

DIRECTIONS: From I-10, take exit 44 (Gulf Shores Pkwy/Hwy 59 South). Travel south on Hwy 59 for approx. 18 miles. Turn left onto Hwy 98 (at light in Foley). Travel approx. 10 miles to Co. Rd 95. Turn right and go 1 ½ mile. Course is on the left.

They are making some improvements which should help. Greens generally roll slow and a few are still in bad shape, especially #18. Fun layout. Would love to see this course in the shape it was several years ago. Such potential.

I'll never use Golf Now again

On vacation used Golf Now to find local course and make reservation. Golf Now charged me a fee to do so. Arrived at course and teed off. It started to rain but when lightning began we went to clubhouse. We had played 9 holes. Asked for rain check but course management said no. His explanation was that the special rate to play via Golf Now wouldn't allow him that flexibility. He said, with a wink, that we could simply show up in the future and play. When we tried to play that 9 holes a few days later we were told we could play but Golf Now had to make the reservation. Called Golf Now and all I heard was a sales pitch that would cost me a lot of money before Golf Now would assist me. That tactic really upset. I will never use Golf Now again.

Fun course

Always a fun course to play. Some challenging holes and some.easy. a little rough in spots, greens are not real consistent with lots of bumpy growth here and there. Did get a nice deal on an 18 hole same.day replay.

Not worth the money

As we checked in, he asked for our tee time. I told him and said he didn't have us down. I said we went through golf now. He looked it up on the computer and lone and behold it was there. He then charged us more than what we were charged through golf now. What is the point of going through golf now if they don't go by it. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Will not be back.
