The Donald Ross routing through Birmingham's rolling terrain delivers everything you'd expect from the master architect's Alabama work—strategic bunkering that punishes wayward approaches and greens that reward proper angle of attack. The front nine climbs through mature hardwoods where several holes demand precise iron play to elevated, subtly contoured putting surfaces that can turn birdie putts into three-putts in a heartbeat. This daily-fee gem proves that Ross's timeless design principles translate beautifully to public golf, offering serious players a chance to test their games against one of architecture's all-time greats.
