Overview
Centrally located in Birmingham, Highland Park is a quality public course with terrific views of downtown. Unlike some of the nearby wide, “big ballpark” layouts, Highland Park more closely resembles a New England-style course with short, narrow holes that demand precision. If you’re looking to dial in your short irons and wedges, this 5,800-yard par 70 is the spot. The bunkers and greens were renovated in 2019, modernizing this compelling design.

“Great little Municipal course built in 1903 and restored in 1998 by Bob Cupp on undulating property. Great mix of long and short holes that will test your game even if not the longest of courses. Course played firm and fast and the bent grass greens were receptive and rolled fast and true. Course is a great value. Don't overlook this "gem"."

“How do you follow up a 64 in the final round of the Masters? If you're Jordan Speith, you go with your spring break buddies (Fowler, Thomas, Kaufmann) to Birmingham and see how low you can go at Highland Park. A short course, with a lot of history behind it. It's tight, but since you rarely need more than a long iron or fairway wood off the tee, and a wedge for your approach, it's not especially tough. Great views of downtown from the higher spots around the course. The greens are generally in good condition, but if it's been raining recently, there are some drainage problems that can make the course play longer."

“I wish my hometown offered a great public track like Highland Park. Greens fees have gone up over the years sadly. The course does see it's fair share of foot traffic so if you go when it's not football season expect to wait! It's a short course by todays standards but it's a great place to hone in on your irons and wedges."
