This course is situated on gently-rolling Alabama hill country and is known for its perpetually well-maintained grounds. Although the fairways are quite narrow, a lack of significant rough and out-of-bounds allows the course to play very forgiving. The greens are amply-sized and feature varying degrees of undulation. The pro shop personnel stated that the open layout makes for a very enjoyable round of golf. 8 miles north of Huntsville on U.S. 231 at Meridianville.
