Oak Mountain State Golf

This is a scenic course that is located in the heart of Oak Mountain State Park. Most of the fairways are lined by mature trees and woods. The course is long and relatively flat. I recommend using a push cart if you choose to walk. The greens are large and are seeded with Bermuda grass. They are usually a bit slow so you can putt aggressively.
The course is challenging and especially the four par 5s. Water is in play on three and the fourth is the last hole. It is 529 yards and it runs along the main road in the park. One of my favorite holes is #6. It is a par 3 that plays around 150 yards. Directly behind the green is a steep mountain side that provides a beautiful background. The view from the tee box is spectacular during the fall.
The pace of play can be slow, and especially on weekends. The starter and marshals are usually old geezers who are not very friendly. The clubhouse is nice but not fancy. It has the feel of a state park or muni run course.

Had a great day at Oak Mountain. Shot an 88 which is a good round for me. The course was in good shape and front desk was cordial. I had a Golf Now voucher which presented no problems. Met couple locals on first hole and enjoyed the round with them.
Only issue was the entry gate. Lady working was yakking on her cell phone and not paying attention. I had a return receipt for two and was by myself and due to her taking care of personal business she had problems giving me my reciept back for another free visit to the park.
I love the course especially with the discount provided by Golf Now. Will be returning!!!

Hands down the best golf value in the Birmingham area. A scenic setting and a very walkable course (and a walker-​friendly one at that). Improvements to the green complexes in recent years have made a big difference in modernizing the track. There might be nicer golf courses out there, but for what you pay to play Oak Mtn., it’s awfully hard to beat.
