Bent Brook Golf Club's Graveyard course sits in the Birmingham area of Alabama, designed by Ward Northrup. The course takes its name from a historic cemetery that remains on the property, a distinctive feature that lends both character and a sense of place to the routing. Northrup, who worked extensively across the Southeast during the mid-to-late twentieth century, crafted layouts that typically emphasized playability while respecting natural terrain, and Graveyard reflects this approach within the rolling topography common to this part of central Alabama. The course occupies land that transitions between wooded sections and more open terrain, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot requirements and strategic options. The presence of the cemetery creates a unique landmark and influences the routing in ways that distinguish Graveyard from more conventional suburban layouts. Bent Brook operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and public access, which has made it a familiar venue for Birmingham-area golfers seeking a solid test without the exclusivity of the region's private clubs. The course serves as one of multiple layouts at the Bent Brook complex, providing options for different skill levels and preferences. Its design reflects the practical, member-focused golf architecture that characterized much of Northrup's portfolio—courses built to be maintained efficiently and played regularly rather than to chase national rankings or host major championships.
