(BREWTON, AL) – The Country Club of Brewton, managed by Billy Casper Golf, was recently named a “Top 10 Course in Alabama in 2015” by GolfAdvisor, the trusted home of more than 200,000 reviews and recommendations for golfers by golfers.
The widely popular course 90 minutes northeast of Mobile ranked No. 3 of more than 300 eligible courses with 4.7 (of five) stars. To determine its top 10 list, GolfAdvisor weighed courses’ user-based reviews measuring overall design, conditioning, customer service and affordability.
“This honor confirms what our loyal golfers have been boasting for years” says Ryan Andrews, General Manager of the Country Club of Brewton. “Our members truly love playing the course on a daily basis, and the fact that guests drive several hours to tee it up is testament to our team’s amazing work.”
Opened in 1997, the Country Club of Brewton was designed by U.S. Open champion and accomplished architect Jerry Pate. The 18-hole, 7,019-yard, par-72 layout weaves through towering pines and around tranquil lakes. Four sets of tees, narrow, tree-line fairways, and well-guarded greens present entertaining challenges for all skill levels. A limited number of homes on property make the Country Club of Brewton a true, back-to-nature oasis.
Among the memorable holes is the straight-away, 385-yard, par-4 13th that requires a precise approach into a peninsula green. The 544-yard, par-5 18th makes for exciting finishes by demanding a long, accurate tee shot to reach the green in two.
Three of many rave reviews by GolfAdvisor users:
• “The course is one of the nicest I have ever played and I’ve played a lot of nice courses in my day. I still can’t believe the value for the experience. The greens are tour quality with no exaggeration … Tied in with the southern hospitality, absolutely no waiting on tee boxes, the condition of the course and overall experience, you’d be a fool to pass up a round here.”
• “The superintendent employed at this CC deserves a raise as these greens roll as smooth and as true (if not better) than some of the more expensive courses in the South.”
• “Beautiful course. Beautiful day. 18 holes in 3 hrs. It doesn’t get better than this.”
A variety of memberships are available for local golfers and visitors alike including resident, junior and “Out of Town” offerings. Guests hone their games on the expansive, all-grass driving range and putting green. Private lessons and group clinics for all ages are available.
