Mobile County is set to host a soft launch for the new 18-hole Cypress Creek Golf Course on September 23, 2026. The facility, designed by Jerry Pate, will open for limited advance-reservation play.

Jerry Pate is a professional golfer and course architect who designed the layout for the new Cypress Creek Golf Course.
The details
Located at 3700 St Andrews Ln N on the grounds of the former Linksman Golf Course, the facility was acquired by the county in 2021 using GOMESA funding. To ensure proper turf maturation, management is limiting initial availability to advance-reservation play.
Timeline
2021: The county purchased the land for the course project.
September 18, 2026: Tee time reservations opened for the public.
September 23, 2026: The soft launch of the course begins at 10:00 a.m.
September 25, 2026: A limited play schedule begins at the facility.
Season Trajectory
The development of this facility reflects a regional commitment to expanding public access to golf. It represents the latest shift in the local recreational landscape as the county pivots from the defunct Linksman site to a modernized municipal park project.
Local players can secure tee times by calling the course to book during the limited soft launch period. The facility also features tennis and pickleball courts that are currently operating on a daily schedule from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The takeaway
Golfers should check reservation requirements regularly as the course matures and schedules transition to full availability. Residents can also take advantage of the expanded outdoor court facilities that are already active at the park.
