Well designed in its ability to be very fair and enjoyable for member play yet host a top mid am event on a moments notice by dialing up green speed/firmness and tossing pins on some slick knobs. Very pleasurable layout that will make you hit every club in your bag.

Difficult course as greens are undulating with many tiered greens. Always in great shape and service is incredible. Fun holes but demanding accuracy.

Super long from the tips. Some cool holes and good views. Typical RTJ course but feels a little bit nicer than some others.

Mountain Brook club is a unique course, particularly the front 9. The course has 3 par 4s where driver isn’t an option due to the jammed layout of the course. It’s always in pristine condition but it’s a tight course where Ross did the best he could with limited space.

Short and narrow course. Was once home to the Country Club of Birmingham before they moved to Mountain Brook in 1926. Well kept with good greens and fairways. Driver is not needed on most holes
