Burningtree Country Club has been a cornerstone of golf in the Tennessee Valley for decades, operating as a private members' club in Decatur, Alabama — a mid-sized industrial city on the banks of the Tennessee River, roughly equidistant between Huntsville and Florence. The club carries the kind of settled, community-rooted identity that private clubs in mid-size Southern cities tend to cultivate: a place where members know one another, where the golf is taken seriously, and where belonging matters as much as the back nine.
Decatur sits in a region of gently rolling terrain, hardwood forests, and the broad, lake-like stretches of Wheeler Lake formed by the Tennessee River. That landscape tends to shape courses in this part of Alabama — mature tree lines, bentgrass or bermudagrass depending on the era of construction, and a climate that delivers genuine four-season play, though summers here are legitimately hot and humid.
As a private 18-hole layout at par 72, Burningtree offers its membership a full, traditional test of the game — the kind of course built around consistency, course management, and the quiet satisfaction of a well-played round among familiar company.
