2024 APT Golf Birmingham – Cherokee Ridge Country Club

Twenty-five years ago, Sid McDonald, a successful businessman who grew up in Arab, AL, had a vision to create a golf course and a luxury real estate community that locals could take pride in. He wanted the country club experience to be remarkable, with a commitment to excellence and a strong belief in successful community development. In the late 80’s, McDonald began purchasing several hundred acres of rolling and densely wooded land. Truly a visionary he saw the abundant gifts that the natural terrain offered and took advantage. Crafting an immaculate layout with designer Sammy Dean, the golf course they built took advantage of the native vegetation, the rolling hills, as well as the lakes and streams. In August of 1992 vision became reality in the pristine 18-hole golf course delicately nestled against the dramatic Appalachian backdrop.
