Tartan Pines Golf Club

Tartan Pines Golf Club sits in Enterprise, a small city in southeastern Alabama's Wiregrass region, roughly midway between Dothan and the Florida panhandle. The course was designed by Alan Blalock in collaboration with Glen Day, a PGA Tour professional who competed regularly in the 1990s and early 2000s. Day's involvement reflects a trend of touring professionals contributing playing insights to design projects, particularly in their home regions or areas where they maintain connections. The layout occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Wiregrass, with natural elevation changes that provide strategic interest without severe slopes. Pine forests frame many holes, creating defined corridors and a sense of seclusion from surrounding development. The design likely emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating risk-reward options that reflect Day's competitive perspective on shot values and course management. Enterprise itself is known for its military connection to Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker) and its unusual civic monument to the boll weevil, commemorating the insect's role in pushing local agriculture beyond cotton monoculture. The golf club serves both the local community and the transient military population, creating a membership base that blends long-term residents with families on rotational assignments. The course provides a recreational amenity in a region where golf facilities are less concentrated than in Alabama's larger metropolitan areas.
