THE GENERAL GOLF COURSE

The rolling hills of north Alabama serve up a true test through dense hardwood corridors where placement trumps power on nearly every hole. What sets this track apart is how the design uses natural elevation changes to create genuine risk-reward moments, particularly on the par-5 dogleg that tumbles toward Wheeler Lake. Public golf rarely delivers this kind of thoughtful routing, but here the architect clearly understood that memorable holes emerge from working with the land rather than against it.
