We come to Gulf Shores every year for vacation, mostly to golf. This is a nice course with a great layout. Unfortunately, they don't keep the cours as nice as it once was, but it's also more affordable. So, you get what you pay for. We keep coming back to this course because it's more affordable. The course conditions depend on how much rain they get. Sometimes it's too much and it's soaked, other times it's too dry and it has bare spots. This trip, it has been dry, so there were alot of tee boxes that need water. The greens were ok, they have some weeds growing in, but did not impact the putting too much, but were a little slower than I like. Overall, it's a good bang for the buck. But if you want plush, you'll have to pay the $120+ greenfees at another location. If you want to play relaxed golf and not worry about too many people playing slow, this is your place.

I would recommend the place spend some $ and get coolers for the carts, the plastic bags don't keep your drinks cool long in the southern heat. And they won't let you bring your own cooler, even if you put their drinks in it. Buy the coolers, make people give you their driver's license or $20 deposit that's refunded when the cooler is returned.

Course was in good shape for the lack of rain lately, but the greens were the best I've ever played on, they were so good, thah they looked fake

I got a "Hot Deal" on GolfNow and played for about $40 each. The course was in excellent condition, fairways, greens, tee boxes, everything was in good shape. I typically play in Gulf Shores, but with all the rain, we tried Lost Keys, and was super surprised by how dry it was, it drains very well. I'll be going back more often now. I've played here before, and was not overly impressed with the condition of the course, but it's great now. Best course that's I've played for the money.

Soldier's Creek is a good value, but it really depends on your expectations. It has a great layout, and the course is typically in good condition, with the exception of the bunkers, they just don't seem to manicure the bunkers for some reason. If they would keep the bunkers in good shape it would add a star to my rating. The price is great compared to the other courses in the Gulf Shores area, but these courses are typically in a little better condition (bunkers). We typically take a free drop out of the bunkers because they are not kept up.

Rarely have we had a slow pace of play, not a lot of traffic, which is a good selling point for me. It's a good place to take new golfers without the pressure of having pressure from other golfers.

If you expect this course to be in perfect condition, you should go somewhere else, if you want to play a good course that can challenge you, and not be pressured with lots of other golfers this is a great place.

Don't expect beverage carts or marshalls on this course, they do have beverage cart on the weekends but not during the week.

The staff is very nice and helpful

Like every course, they have times when the greens are affected by weather or disease, but more often than not the greens are in good condition.

We like playing this course because we play often and fast, and this course is affordable and allows for fast play.
