Roebuck Golf Course

The Donald Ross routing through rolling Alabama hills delivers genuine strategic golf at muni prices, with elevated tees revealing dramatic elevation changes that most Birmingham golfers never knew existed. Ross's trademark crowned greens demand precise approach angles, particularly on the uphill par-4 12th where anything right of center kicks into collection areas thirty feet below the putting surface. This 1960s gem proves that intelligent architecture trumps conditioning every time, offering shot values that rival the city's private clubs.
