Coosa Pines Country Club

The rolling hills of central Alabama provide the perfect canvas for this 18-hole layout that demands precision over power, where mature pines frame generous fairways that can lull you into complacency before elevated greens exact their revenge. The back nine climbs through natural elevation changes that showcase the Talladega National Forest backdrop, particularly the downhill par-3 15th that plays two clubs less than the yardage suggests. Smart course management trumps big drives here, rewarding golfers who can work the ball both ways around towering longleaf pines.
