About
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.

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.
Pleasant surprise
We enjoyed our round very much. Course lay out was nice, with some challenging holes. Conditions were overall pretty good for the time of year. Staff friendly!
Nice Course, Nice Staff
Decent layout and course conditions were acceptable. Staff is very friendly
