Henry Cassidy is the current Administrator for the Rock Creek Property Owner’s Association.  Henry is a Louisiana native, who was first introduced to the Alabama Gulf Coast by a college roommate.  Henry would tag along with this roommate on trips to the family beach house in Gulf Shores in the late 60′s.  Prior to these trips, Henry believed that Florida had the most majestic beaches in the country.  He was surprised to learn that such a quaint piece of paradise existed so close to his own home and remembers his instant love of Gulf Shores.

Henry would eventually leave New Orleans for career opportunities as far west as California but the small beach community in Alabama was never far from his mind.  As his retirement approached in 2002, Henry’s list of top places to retire centered around his love of golf.  On the list were various golfing communities in Florida, the Carolina’s, and of course, Gulf Shores, AL.

During a trip to Gulf Shores, Henry visited his step-sister, who purchased a home in Rock Creek, a prominent golfing community just north of the beach in a little town called Fairhope.  He describes Fairhope as a true village with a town environment, as opposed to resort communities he and his wife had considered as potential retirement destinations.  They soon discovered that buying a home in Rock Creek would offer them the best of what coastal Alabama has to offer, like small town appeal and convenience, championship golf, and access to the powder white beaches of Gulf Shores.

In terms of the 18-hole course at Rock Creek, Henry says “it never gets old!”  Members of the Honors Golf at Rock Creek enjoy paying mere cart fees to enjoy nearby affiliated courses, such at The Peninsula and all 36 holes at Craft Farms.
