 The golfing facility at Altadena consists of an eighteen
hole, 6045 yard, par 71, challenging golf course sitting on approximately 118
acres of land bordering the Cahaba River. In April 1999 all 18 greens were
rebuilt from the ground up with the new Tift Eagle Bermuda grass. In addition to
the new greens, AVCC has undertaken a vigorous landscaping project throughout
the course making it better and more beautiful than ever.
AVCC offers a full service golf pro-shop open Tuesday
thru Sunday. The pro-shop offers such services as club storage, shoe cleaning,
equipment repair and golf lessons.

GENERAL INFO

New Rules for Hole #13 - Effective
immediately, for the tee shot only, any ball coming to rest left of the out
of bounds line that runs between #13 and #14 is considered out of bounds.
The O.B. is detailed by a white line and white stakes.
It starts by the cart path next to #12 green and runs behind the #14
green to the dogleg of #13.
It then turns with the dogleg at the treeline and runs along the
trees and beyond to the left of #13 green all the way to the cart path.
Again, this O.B. is only for any tee shot while playing #13, it does
not apply for any shot from the fairway or while playing #14.
