A prime example of Rees Jones at his very best, rolling terrain and scenic landscapes comprise the 473-acre site. Multiple tee positions and generous driving and landing areas reveal that Huntsville is a course ideally suited for all those who love the game. “What golfers will enjoy at Huntsville is the beauty of the site and the way that the holes fit the land so perfectly,” says Rees Jones. “This course will reward excellent shot making, yet it will not overly penalize a poorly played shot.”
