Build Your Career Where Golf Is Played
When many turf graduates think about advancing their careers, they think of private clubs. The reality is there are approximately three public courses to one private club in the United States. Public golf is where the majority of careers in our country are built. It demands efficiency, innovation, outstanding conditions and exceptional customer service every single day. Bent Brook is one of Alabama's premier daily fee golf facilities. We believe a public course can provide conditioning, professionalism and customer experiences that will rival the finest clubs anywhere. Working at Bent Brook means gaining experience in a busy High Volume operation where every day presents new opportunities to learn, solve problems and make an impact.

Bent Brook is a 27-hole championship public golf facility featuring three unique 9-hole courses. Our vision is to become the premier public golf facility in the Southeast by combining exceptional playing conditions, outstanding customer service, operational excellence and innovative technology.
