About The Course

Unforgettable Design Inspired by the Land

Classic Golf

Wicker Point Golf Club is adjacent to Russell Forest on a site naturally conducive to golf along the Lake Martin shoreline. The 18-hole golf course features unexpected holes designed to the natural contours, elevations and elements of the lake and land. The course will be challenging to the seasoned golfer while fun for the casual player. Each hole is memorable unto itself, accentuated by indigenous hardwoods, Alabama’s long leaf pines, rambling creeks crossed by bridges, and more. The front nine carries players through stunning elevation changes amid the forest while picturesque Lake Martin highlights the vistas throughout the back nine.

The course will feature luxurious Zeon Zoysia grass for approaches, tees, fairways and rough and fine-textured TifEagle Bermudagrass on the greens, accentuated by bunkers with native central Alabama sand. In addition to the native forests lining the holes, out-of-play areas will be plentiful with indigenous grasses and wildflowers. To preserve and encourage the growth of these species, Russell Lands is working in conjunction with Alabama Wildlife Federation's Claude Jenkins, a recent recipient of the National Wildlife Federation’s National Conservation Leadership Award.

An Authentic Lake Martin Experience

The clubhouse, designed by Hank Long of Henry Sprott Long & Associates, includes a top pro shop, well-appointed men’s and women’s lockers, dining, and a special event venue. Crafted from dramatic wood and stone elements, the architecture will embody classic golf while providing a truly authentic Lake Martin experience sure to delight. Players will remember the dramatic variety and varying terrain between holes, the homage to traditional strategic golf, the sense of timeless design, and the unforgettable destination that can only be the unmatched Russell Lands on Lake Martin.
