Rock Creek

If you've never played one of the nearly 50 courses designed by veteran architect Earl Stone, the Gulf Shores Golf Association offers three of his very best. The first is the 18-hole layout at Rock Creek Golf Club, one of the most challenging and grandly surprising courses in lower Alabama.

The surprise at Rock Creek is the stunning topography, with some of Baldwin County's highest elevations overlooking freshwater wetlands and the Rock Creek basin. The tall pines and hardwoods that line nearly every fairway only enhance the visual effect.

Centerpiece of the master-planned Rock Creek residential community, this Earl Stone championship golf course is one that the serious golfer won't want to miss. Rock Creek also features full clubhouse amenities, including a complete lunch menu and group outing banquet facilities, as well as certified golf instruction on a hilltop practice tee that must be seen to be appreciated.
