Highland Park Golf Course is a public golf course in Birmingham, Alabama. Established in 1903 as the Country Club of Birmingham, it is the oldest golf course in the state of Alabama.[1]
Bobby Jones won the Birmingham Country Club Invitational at Highland Park in 1916 at the age of 14.[2]
Charlie Boswell shot an 81 on the course on Oct. 5, 1956. The course was renamed the Charlie Boswell Golf Course at Highland Park. Today, Boswell is honored by a plaque on the first tee box. Honors Golf took over the golf club and made course and course house improvements and changed the name back to Highland Park Golf Course.[2]
