Alpine Bay Golf Club

About Alpine Bay Golf Club

Tucked away in the northeast Alabama hills, this public track punches well above its weight class for a small-town municipal course. The routing makes clever use of the rolling terrain without beating you up with forced carries or blind shots, and the greens have enough subtle movement to keep things interesting on your third visit. What really sets it apart is the conditioning, whoever's running the maintenance operation here clearly takes pride in their work, with fairways that rival courses charging twice the green fee. The 4.1 Google rating from over 100 reviews tells the real story: this is the kind of unpretentious track where locals bring their out-of-town guests because they know it won't embarrass them. Walking is encouraged, which is refreshing in an era of cart-mandatory courses, and the pace of play tends to be reasonable since it's not on every golf trail itinerary. For the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value in this part of Alabama.
