Oak Mountain State Park Golf Club

Oak Mountain State Park Golf Club remains a beloved, if understated, chapter in Alabama's golfing story, offering a challenging, scenic layout carved from the undulating terrain of Pelham. Designed in the early 1970's, the course is an example of early parkland design that winds through the heart of Oak Mountain State Park. Expect tree-lined fairways, demanding doglegs and strategically placed bunkers that reward thoughtful play over brute force, with its design favoring players who can shape their shots and navigate the course's many elevation changes. Some holes demand the ability to fade the ball, while others are better suited for draws. The course is known to be challenging. While Oak Mountain hasn't hosted national championships, its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility and the dedicated community it fosters. The membership embodies the spirit of Alabama golf: unpretentious, passionate, and welcoming. Post-round gatherings often center around the clubhouse grill, where the camaraderie is as satisfying as a well-struck iron.
