About this course
Eagle's Nest Golf Course sits atop Taylor Mountain within Lake Guntersville State Park in Guntersville, Alabama, offering elevated views over Lake Guntersville along with rolling hills and wildlife including deer and bald eagles.
The course opened in 1972, designed by Earl Stone, and was renovated in 2009 by former University of Alabama golfer and PGA Tour player Jerry Pate, who oversaw new TifDwarf Bermuda greens and a modern irrigation system. A further cart-path project completed around 2025 added concrete paths across the full course.
Operated by Alabama State Parks, the course is open to the public with a pro shop and practice facilities. It plays to a par of 72, with a longest yardage of roughly 6,785 to 6,810 yards depending on the tee data source, and its mountaintop routing brings notable elevation changes across the round.
