Heatherwood Golf and Country Club in Birmingham, Alabama is a course known for its intriguing layout, tough challenge, scenic vistas, and affordable tee times. Located about twelve miles south of downtown, it winds through a heavily wooded subdivision. Though the course, first known as Heatherwood Country Club, opened in 1986, it underwent a complete redesign by John LaFoy in 2001. When the club hit upon hard times, it closed for several years, but a group of homeowner members ultimately saved the picturesque playing field and it reopened in 2016 as a semiprivate club. The current owners of Heatherwood Golf and Country Club have steadily improved playing conditions on this hilly layout. You ll find a nice mix of straightaway and dogleg holes, including a couple of tests that bend at severe angles. The par-72 course consists of a par-37 front nine with two par 5s and a single par 3, and a par-35 back nine with two par 3s and just one par 5. Though holes converge at times on the front nine, the back nine is more spread out, as each hole enjoys its own distinct corridor. Golfers can take on the course from any of four sets of tee markers, the shortest of which measures 4,887 yards and the longest of which extends to 6,351 yards. Longer hitters seldom reach for their driver at Heatherwood Golf and Country Club. Many holes are short and feature narrow fairways lined by thick rough, trees and dense vegetation. The longest of the par 5s is 501 yards and most par 4s max out at around 350 yards. To score at Heatherwood Golf and Country Club you must keep the ball in play, but that is no easy task given the hilly falloffs and other trouble beyond the fairways. While a couple of lakes bring water into play on a few holes, only the par-3 16th requires a carry over an aquatic hazard. Heatherwood Golf and Country Club has made a concerted effort to improve the conditions of the greens, and many players now laud the putting surfaces. Though there are houses around, they are generally removed from the action. From the high points on the course the views are quite impressive. Heatherwood Golf and Country Club s practice facilities include a driving range and a putting green. The clubhouse features a pro shop and a bar & grill.
