Overview

Situated between Birmingham and Montgomery, FarmLinks is a Michael Hurdzan/Dana Fry layout at Pursell Farms, a Golf Digest Editors’ Choice resort at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The FarmLinks layout continually switches scenes, moving from meadows to woods to rugged foothills and back into the meadows. The course is also an agronomist laboratory with spacious fairways, tees and wavy greens planted with different strains and combinations of zoysia and bermuda grass so visiting turf managers can study how they grow across the site's different microclimates. But the fun is in the design and the journey through the vast, serene property, highlighted by an eccentric variety of par-3s that include the memorable fifth with one of the steepest drops in the U.S., a picturesque swan dive of almost 175 feet from tee to green.
