About The Country Club of Birmingham

The Country Club of Birmingham is a private club with two golf courses, complemented by aquatics, fitness and tennis facilities as well as dining and social amenities.

The club's history spans three locations: an original driving club site in north Birmingham, a move in 1904 to the Lakeview area, and its present home in Mountain Brook. Its buildings and interiors reflect an evolving design approach that draws on historical precedent.

The West Course reflects the work of three architects — Donald Ross, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Pete Dye — and its holes carry considerable history. The course has served as the site of numerous state, regional and national competitions.
