Cypress Bend's Hole No. 18
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
August 12, 2023
Not far from the heart of Gulf Shores, you'll find Craft Farms, a course featuring 36 holes of championship golf. Designed by golf icon Arnold Palmer, Craft Farms is composed of two courses: Cypress Bend and Cotton Creek. One of the most challenging yet rewarding holes at this golf resort is Cypress Bend's hole 18.

When it comes to playing this par-5 hole, avoid bunkers to the left and water to the right with a long, straight tee shot. Place your second shot well to avoid the creek that runs in front of the green. If you decide to go for the green in two, make sure you use enough club to carry the creek. Two bunkers in the back and water to the left guard the green.
