Cane Creek Golf Club

Cane Creek Golf Club sits in Anniston, a city in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in northeastern Alabama. The course was designed by George Cobb, a prolific architect who worked extensively across the Southeast from the 1950s through the 1970s. Cobb's portfolio includes numerous daily-fee and semi-private courses throughout the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama, and his designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural terrain. The routing at Cane Creek takes advantage of the rolling topography characteristic of this part of Alabama, where elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing experience. Cobb's approach generally favored strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach shots, with layouts that allow golfers to navigate holes through course management rather than pure length. The property features mature trees that define fairway corridors and frame individual holes. Cane Creek serves as a community golf facility in the Anniston area, providing a traditional round of golf in a setting shaped by the region's natural landscape. The course reflects the mid-century design principles Cobb employed throughout his career, balancing challenge with accessibility for local membership and visiting players. It remains part of the regional golf landscape in northeastern Alabama, where courses often incorporate the area's natural elevation and woodland character into their design.
