Gunters Landing Golf Club

Gunters Landing Golf Club sits on the shores of Lake Guntersville in northeast Alabama, approximately sixty miles north of Birmingham. The course was designed by Jimmy Kennamer, a regional architect who worked primarily across Alabama and neighboring states during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of the Tennessee Valley region, with elevation changes and wooded corridors defining much of the routing. The property borders Lake Guntersville, one of the Tennessee Valley Authority's larger reservoirs, and several holes incorporate views of or play along the water. The topography provides natural movement through the round, with doglegs and elevation shifts creating variety in approach angles and shot requirements. Mature hardwoods and pines frame many fairways, and the green complexes reflect Kennamer's tendency toward traditional Southern design sensibilities—moderately contoured surfaces that reward accurate iron play without excessive severity. Gunters Landing functions as part of a residential community on the lake, serving both members and resort guests. The setting appeals to golfers seeking a regional layout that integrates natural features without dramatic architectural statements. The course offers a straightforward test suited to the recreational player while maintaining enough strategic interest for those familiar with the terrain and conditions of northern Alabama golf.
