Centrally located in the state of Alabama and just minutes from the downtown Birmingham area, the Oxmoor Valley facility was built on former mining land owned by U.S. Steel. Sculpted from the peaks and valleys of the Appalachians, the courses offer scenic forests, numerous creeks, and challenging elevation changes.
The Ridge course offers numerous elevation changes, heavy tree cover, and is incredibly photogenic. As a tribute to the area’s mining past, the green at the par-five third hole is buttressed by a shelf of exposed shale rock.
Completely renovated in 2021, the Valley course features new tees, bunkers, and beautiful TifEagle greens. For those who have played the Valley in the past, there are also a few new surprises with complete redesigns on a few holes, including the previously notorious 18th hole.
