![]() ![]() Course History and Description: Highland Park Golf Course was originally established in 1903 as the Country Club of Birmingham, making it the oldest golf course in Alabama. Highland Park has been the site of many important golf events including one of renowned golfer Bobby Jones’ first victories. At the age of 14, Jones played and won the Birmingham Country Club Invitational held at Highland Park. Revitalizing Restoration In 1998, the restoration of Highland Park Golf took place under the watch of Bob Barrett, a highly respected golf course developer and manager, working with renowned architect Bob Cupp. The re-development was an overwhelming success, offering a classic design complimented with modern amenities. Since its restoration, Highland Park continues to host many popular golf events including the Tiger Woods’ Junior Golf Clinic. Honours Golf has managed Highland Park Golf Course since December 1998. A Layout suitable for all golfers Voted “Best Golf Course” by the Birmingham News, Highland Park is a favorite spot among Birmingham residents and visitors to the area. The layout is fun and encouraging for novice golfers, yet enticing enough for skilled golfers. This par-70 golf course may play shorter than average with over 5,800 yards from back tees, but packs quite the punch! Every hole on this Birmingham course features elevation changes and a hazard or two. You’ll need to sharpen your short game skills to make par on this Birmingham golf course. Water comes into play on half the course. You’ll find numerous elevation changes, many holes with uphill approach shots, winding creeks that add character to the course, several generous lakes, heavily bunkered pristine greens. Immaculate Conditions Highland Park is also known for its outstanding course conditions. It offers well-manicured tees and fairways, perfectly raked bunkers, and first-class bent grass greens that run fast and true. They were even voted “Best greens in Birmingham” by Birmingham Magazine! Scenic Appeal Highland Park is truly unique in the fact that it is the only course in the area that offers beautiful vistas of downtown Birmingham. The green on Hole No. 16 is the highest point of the golf course and offers a spectacular view of the Birmingham skyline. You’ll also find many other picturesque holes on this city-owned course. Some say hole No. 10 is the most picturesque hole on the course with a generous green surrounded on by water on three sides. Hole No. 18 will definitely make a lasting impression. You’ll tee off on a hill overlooking one of the many lakes on the course to a wide, lush fairway with a panoramic view of the clubhouse.
