Shoal Creek was founded in 1977 and is located 20 minutes from downtown Birmingham, AL. The Club has consistently been recognized as one of the Platinum Clubs of America and is viewed as one of the premier golf clubs in the Southeast. Since the clubs inception it was consistently been voted in numerous publications as a top 100 golf course. The course is a 7,154-yard layout that has hosted two PGA Championships’ (1984, 1990), the 1986 U.S. Amateur and the 2008 U. S Junior Amateur. In 2011 – 2015 Shoal Creek hosted yet another major. Most recently Shoal Creek hosted the 2018 U.S. Women’s Open.
Built in the Williamsburg style, the club’s five guest cottages—named Nicklaus, Pate, Thompson, Alabama and Townhall suites—range from two to eight bedrooms. There are also four suites above the golf shop, giving the club 34 rooms and 48 beds. Total Room Revenue for the year is 600k.
Indeed, an invitation to Shoal Creek is one of golf’s thrills, and visitors should be sure to partake of the entire club experience. In addition to the main attraction, one of Nicklaus’ best designs, Shoal Creek has a par-3 Little Links.
Shoal Creek is first and foremost a golf club. We have a large national membership, that brings in most of our annual revenue. While we are open 12 months of the year Shoal Creek is very seasonal with Spring and Fall months historically being our busiest.
