Highland Park was established in 1903, making it as the oldest golf course in the state of Alabama. The course originally opened as the Country Club of Birmingham. Rich in tradition and the site of one of Bobby Jones' first victories, Highland Park still sparkles from a 1998 restoration by renowned architect Bob Cupp. The layout is short but has characteristics of a championship style golf course. Attractions include superb bent grass greens and splendid vistas of downtown Birmingham.
