    Well designed in its ability to be very fair and enjoyable for member play yet host a top mid am event on a moments notice by dialing up green speed/firmness and tossing pins on some slick knobs. Very pleasurable layout that will make you hit every club in your bag.

    Difficult course as greens are undulating with many tiered greens. Always in great shape and service is incredible. Fun holes but demanding accuracy.

    Stayed 3 nights on property in a September. The lodging and staff were amazing. Course layout was extremely fun and rewarded good shots. The fairways are wide and course was in incredible condition, but my only gripe is the rough was too long.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Alabama. Rankings refresh about hourly.
