 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.
