Musgrove at Musgrove Country Club

Musgrove Country Club sits in Jasper, a small city in the hill country of northwest Alabama, approximately forty miles north of Birmingham. The course was designed by Jerry Pate, the former U.S. Open champion who turned to golf course architecture after his playing career. Pate, who won the 1976 U.S. Open at Atlanta Athletic Club, has designed several courses across the Southeast, often working with the region's rolling terrain and incorporating strategic elements that reward thoughtful play over pure distance.

The layout at Musgrove takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this part of Alabama, where elevation changes and wooded corridors shape the playing corridors. Pate's design philosophy typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through green complexes and hazard placement. The course serves as the centerpiece of a traditional country club that caters to the local community in the Jasper area.

As a private club in a smaller Alabama market, Musgrove functions primarily as a social and recreational hub for its membership rather than a tournament venue. The setting reflects the wooded, moderately rolling landscape common to the Appalachian foothills region, offering a golf experience shaped by the natural features of northwest Alabama rather than dramatic architectural statements. The club provides the amenities typical of regional country clubs, with golf serving alongside social and family-oriented programming.
