HIGHLAND PARK GOLF COURSE
Alabama's Highland Park Golf Course was originally established in 1903 as the Country Club of Birmingham, making it the oldest golf course in Alabama. Highland Park has been the site of many important golf events including one of renowned golfer Bobby Jones’s first victories. The Highland Park facilities - golf course, adjoining tennis club, clubhouse facilities, etc. - are all located in the heart of one of Birmingham's favorite neighborhoods. The Highland Park area has grown significantly over the past decade as the city of Birmingham continues to revitalize the Downtown Area.
Highland Park was recently ranked in the top 30 for best municipal courses in the United States! Don’t be fooled by the 5,800-yard, par-70 scorecard: elevation changes, creeks, lakes and plenty of movement on the small greens make the course play longer than you might think, while not robbing the design of any of its quirky fun.

Camp was a blast
Drop off and pick up was super easy, the kids had a blast during the camp

Other Children Were a Big Distraction
The camp was more of a playground for some of the golfers. You might want to think about raising the age. My son loves golf and has been playing for a while, but some of the other children were a big distraction and the coaches acted as if they were not concerned about teaching them the manners that go along with playing golf!
May 15, 2025 -

Beau had such a great week and learned a lot. Paul puts such care into each golfer, and Beau truly respects him. I couldn’t believe the evaluation form he filled out for Beau.

A restored attitude of fun that he had lost in competition. And the opportunity to play at Pebble Beach because he ranked 2nd overall for camps held at Highlands!

He liked the chipping practice and the water battle to cool down.
June 24, 2022 -
Went into it thinking it would be all about golf. Which would have been fine because 6-year old Carter lives and breathes for golf right now! We quickly realized it was a camp and Carter really enjoyed it! Paul and his staff did an amazing job!
