Craft Farms

Arnold Palmer's coastal Alabama masterpiece delivers relentless risk-reward golf through towering pines and pristine wetlands, where signature holes like the island-green 17th demand both courage and precision. The layout's strategic bunkering and elevation changes—rare for this Gulf Coast region—create dramatic sight lines that belie the area's typically flat terrain. What separates this track from the beach resort competition is Palmer's restraint with water hazards, using them sparingly but decisively to frame approach shots on the most memorable holes.
