Hilly terrain in northeast Alabama makes this a walking round with genuine elevation
Hilly terrain in northeast Alabama makes this a walking round with genuine elevation. Rare for a region that mostly works with flat-to-rolling coastal plain. At nearly 7,000 yards from the tips, the grades add physical interest to a walk that already has the atmospheric advantages of Southern golf. The 140 slope and 73.9 rating tell you this layout has teeth. Four par-5s spread across the card give you chances to recover. The sixth hole carries the number one handicap for a reason. Summer heat in the Deep South is not a footnote. It's a condition. Morning tee times are not a preference. They're a plan. Pace of play runs high here, which matters when you're on foot and momentum is everything.
