Roundabout Plantation Golf Course

Roundabout Plantation Golf Course sits in Cowarts, a small community in southeastern Alabama near the Florida border. Designed by Charles Hobbs, the course occupies land characteristic of the region's gently rolling terrain, where former agricultural property transitions into recreational use. The setting reflects the rural character of Houston County, with native pines and hardwoods framing the layout. The course serves the local golfing community in an area where public and semi-private facilities provide accessible play away from the more developed resort corridors along the Gulf Coast. Hobbs, who has designed courses primarily across the Southeast, typically works with existing topography to create straightforward layouts that balance playability with strategic interest. The routing likely takes advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors common to this part of Alabama. Roundabout Plantation offers a regional golf experience reflective of smaller Southern courses, where the focus remains on maintaining conditions suitable for regular play rather than tournament hosting or national recognition. The facility serves golfers from the Dothan area and surrounding communities, providing a course that fits within the tradition of accessible golf in Alabama's Wiregrass region.
