Mobile County's new public course in southwest Mobile opens Tuesday through Sunday. An 18-hole round costs $30 midweek, and the first 100 members pay $1,750.

Cypress Creek Golf Course, Mobile County’s new public course in southwest Mobile, is now open six days a week. The course switched from four days to Tuesday through Sunday on Sunday, Nov. 1.

The county also has its first price list for the course, including an annual membership. The Mobile County Commission approved the interim rates on Oct. 22, the county said in a release.

What it costs

These are the interim rates, in effect since Oct. 22:

Tuesday to Thursday Friday to Sunday and holidays
18 holes $30 $40
9 holes $20 $30
Tournament, per player $55 $65
  • Golf carts cost $25 for 18 holes and $15 for nine. Carts are charged on top of green fees.
  • Tournament rates include green fees, carts, range balls and a $5 pro shop gift certificate for each player.
  • An annual membership costs $2,000. The first 100 people to sign up pay $1,750.
  • High school golfers get special rates for matches and individual play. The county did not publish those figures.

Hours and how to book

The course is open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Reservations are required. The county parks page for the course gives the booking number as 251-753-9540.

The driving range is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. A basket of range balls costs $8. The tennis and pickleball courts next to the range keep the same hours and are free, first come, first served.

The course is at 3700 St. Andrews Lane North. The county said hours, rates and services may still change while it watches how the new turf matures and how many people play.

A closed course, rebuilt

Cypress Creek sits on the site of the former Linksman Golf Course, according to the county parks page. Linksman opened in the early 1970s and closed in 2006. The land then sat vacant for about 15 years.

Mobile County bought the property in 2022. The 100 acres for the course and the neighboring Riviére du Chien Park were bought with state and county GOMESA money. The county said that funding supports conservation and expands public access to waterfront recreation.

The new 18-hole course was designed by Jerry Pate. It also has a youth practice area. It opened for limited play on Sept. 25 on a short schedule, so the turf had time to establish. The county named it for a nearby tributary of the Dog River, which was also the name of the first course on the site.

A temporary clubhouse and food vendor are on site. The county said a permanent clubhouse and other amenities are planned for later phases.

“Whether you’re a lifelong golfer, just learning the game or introducing your children to it, this course is for you,” District 3 Commissioner Randall Dueitt said in the release. Dueitt has championed the project, the county said.

The course now has its own budget line. The commission’s fiscal 2027 budget, approved Sept. 28, set up a Cypress Creek Golf Course enterprise fund.

What it means for you

  • You can now play any day except Monday, but only in the morning, and you need to call ahead.
