Oak Mountain State Park Golf Course

The rolling foothills of Alabama's Appalachian Mountains provide a dramatic canvas for this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, where elevation changes of 100 feet create both breathtaking vistas and demanding approach shots. Jones carved fairways through dense hardwood forests and around natural rock outcroppings, forcing players to navigate doglegs that reward strategic positioning over brute force. At barely $50 for weekend play, this state park gem delivers championship-caliber golf that would cost three times as much anywhere else in the region.
