Redstone Arsenal, Alabama

The Links at Redstone Golf Course currently consists of two 18-hole, Par-72 courses, the Patriot Course and the Warrior Course.  The first two courses were nine-hole, the Hillside and Whispering Pines and opened in 1959.  A third nine-hole course, the Meadowview was added in 1996.  In 2010 a fourth nine-hole was added.  The courses were reconfigured into the present layout.  The designers of the courses are not known.  Both courses were cut out of a large wooded area in northern Alabama with pine tree lined fairways and greens of Bermuda grass.  The courses have moderate bunkering and sand.

The Warrior Course:   The course was formed by the Meadowview nine and the fourth unnamed course of nine holes.  The course measures 7,339 yards from the back tees and has a rating of 74.7 with a slope of 136.

The Patriot Course:   Formed by combining the old Hillside and the Whispering Pines nine-hold courses.  The course measures 6,890 yards from the back tees and has a rating of 72.7 and a slope of 124.

The golf course is for the military and their guests only.
