Valley Hill Country Club is a private club in southeast Huntsville, Alabama, founded in 1963 under its original name, Willowbrook Country Club. Over the decades it has built up a long golfing tradition in the area, and players including Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and Huntsville native Stewart Cink have played here.
The club's first head golf professional was Sam Byrd, a rare figure who competed at a high level in two sports. Byrd played for the New York Yankees in the 1932 World Series as a teammate and roommate of Babe Ruth, earning the nickname "Babe Ruth's Legs" for his pinch-hitting and late-inning defensive work. He later turned to golf full time and won six PGA Tour events between 1942 and 1946, and he remains the only person to have appeared in both the World Series and the Masters. He was inducted into the Alabama Hall of Fame in 1974.
Rocket scientist Wernher von Braun served on the club's first Board of Governors and frequently hosted lunches at the club with NASA colleagues and government officials.
