How Many Golf Courses Are in Alabama?

Alabama's golf infrastructure spans 147 named courses and country clubs distributed across 140 cities and 54 counties. The directory draws its data from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's authoritative gazetteer of named geographic features, ensuring that every listed facility is a recognized, named location with an established geographic record.

Because the GNIS catalogs named geographic features rather than active commercial operations, the directory represents a partial and time-lagged snapshot of Alabama's golf landscape. Newly opened courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the federal registry, and specific operational details—such as whether a course is open to the public or private membership only, current pricing structures, and specific layout configurations—fall outside the scope of the federal geographic database.

Users seeking to play a particular course should use this directory to identify locations by city and county, then consult the individual facility's official website to confirm current operating hours, green fees, membership requirements, and available booking options.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Alabama directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
