Description

Frank House Municipal Golf Course is a classic municipal layout in Bessemer that opened in 1972, designed by Alabama architect Earl Stone. Playing to a par 72 at 6,346 yards from the back tees, it carries a 69.0 course rating and 119 slope on Bermuda grass. The routing mixes tree-lined par 4s with reachable fives and straightforward threes, giving everyday golfers a fair test without excessive length. Water is in play on several holes, and the modest, moderately sized greens reward placement more than power. Run by the City of Bessemer, it's known for budget friendly rates and convenient access off I 20/59, with a driving range and practice greens for warm up.

Great course for driving and approach shots. Greens are not reliable, but all else is good. It gets crowded on the weekends and play is slow. Mostly with groups of 1s and 2s. Also, lots of pine trees getting smacked by balls, so keep your eye out. Nowhere is safe from flying balls. Can't beat the price.

Ive been playing out here for 25 years and after the tornado it got a little better but since it's done nothing but go downhill. The people are jerks, the course is always in terrible shape, they never cut the greens, and you spend the entire round dodging balls flying from three fairways over. The worst part though is good luck playing 18 holes in less than 6 hours. Last time I played here I said never again, but decided to give it one more chance. This time I mean it.

Perfect day to go golfing. First time venturing here and I love the space. Lines move quickly to get rounds started.

Best $25 round of golf in the state. Well maintained and most of the greens are in good shape. Still plays well even with the grass dormant. Get there early! They don't do tee times it's just walk-ups so if you show up after about 10am on a weekend prepare to wait on a cart. They don't force people to double up so the carts go fast!

As long as you’re not expecting Pebble Beach, you should be satisfied. Every public golf course could be in better shape, this one is no exception. The price is about as good as it gets, the course itself is fun and there are a few challenging holes. There are some dogs on the course from time to time, never had an issue with any of them. No tee times, first come, first serve!
