As the original Arnold Palmer signature design along the Gulf Coast, the Cotton
Creek course combines the mystique of a golf legend with Southern hospitality.
Cotton Creek and its sister course, Cypress Bend at Craft Farms, are Palmer’s only
Alabama projects.
Featuring rolling fairways and large undulating greens, the course 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.
In addition to outstanding golf, Craft Farms offers complete on-site amenities,
including a pro shop, the picturesque lakeside Cotton Creek Clubhouse, the awardwinning Courtyard by Marriott and the luxurious Cypress Point Condominiums.

TimberCreek Golf Club offers golfing enthusiasts a truly unique and memorable
experience.
Expertly crafted by Earl Stone into a 27-hole championship facility, TimberCreek
features beautifully undulating and forested terrain more reminiscent of the
inland Carolinas than the coastal topography one might expect so close to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Spacious, flowing fairways and immaculately manicured playing surfaces have
been artistically sculpted from a forest of flowering Magnolias, Dogwoods and
Loblolly Pines. The wetlands of D’Oliver Creek meander throughout the property,
accentuating the natural beauty of the course while offering strategic challenges
for golfers of all abilities.
Located just 1/4 mile north of I-10, TimberCreek provides a great additional
playing option while traveling to or from the beaches of Gulf Shores.

POLICIES
Golf Course Check-In
Golfers should check in for play at least 15
minutes prior to their scheduled tee time.
Players who arrive late forfeit reserved tee
times and are subject to same day space
availability, if any. Groups that are late,
incomplete or fail to show are billed in full
for reservations which are not filled.
Cancellation Policy
To ensure credit for all reserved golf play,
cancellations must be made with your
selected accommodation at least 48
hours prior to scheduled golf play. ALL
CANCELLATIONS MUST BE HANDLED BY
THE ACCOMMODATION. The individual
golf courses cannot cancel golf play.
Soft Spikes
In a continuing effort to provide the
very best playing conditions for resort
golfers, soft spikes are required at all Gulf
Shores Golf Association golf courses.
The improvement to putting surfaces as
a result of this effort is readily evident,
not to mention the comfort most golfers
attribute to the non-metal spikes.
Inclement Weather
Weather conditions vary greatly due to
the close proximity of the golf courses to
the Gulf. It may be raining at the beach
but not at any of the courses. Unless a
course is closed to play, tee times must
be honored. When in doubt, call the
golf course directly for current weather
conditions and rain policy information.
Only the golf course can offer credit for
rainouts. IF THE COURSE IS OPEN FOR
PLAY, CREDIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED.
Proper Golf Attire
Shirts with collars and sleeves are required
at all participating golf courses. Please
check with the course you are playing for
specific information regarding attire.
Pace of Play
A course can only play as fast as each
finishing group. An enjoyable pace of play
requires that golfers maintain a position
directly behind the group in front of them
regardless of the position of the group
behind them. Please do your part and
keep pace with the group ahead of you at
all times.
Coolers/Tailgating
Our liquor laws require that alcoholic
beverages consumed on the grounds of
the club are restricted to only those that
have been purchased and distributed by
the club itself. Private coolers containing
alcoholic beverages are not permitted
on the grounds of a course nor is
the consumption of such beverages
(tailgating) permitted in parking areas.
Special arrangements for coolers required
for medical purposes are accepted by
all golf courses and should be made in
advance.
Equipment
Each player is required to have his/her
own golf bag and set of clubs. Rental sets
are available at the courses and must be
reserved in advance of play.
Golf Cart Use and Liability
Most golf courses in the Gulf Shores Golf
Association permit walking but do not
allow pull carts. Golf cart operators are
individually liable for damages to carts
and/or club property. Any incident or
injury should be reported to the golf
course staff as soon as possible. It is each
golfer’s responsibility to read and adhere
to specific rules for golf cart use and safety
provided at each course.
Spectators
Non-golfing adults and minors are not
permitted on some courses. Please check
with the course you are playing for specific
information regarding spectators.
