Golf in Anniston

Anniston is a Calhoun County city in the northeast Alabama foothills, a community whose history includes both pride and controversy—built as a model industrial town in the 1870s by wealthy industrialists who controlled access and designed the city according to their vision of orderly, prosperous development, and later a site of significant Civil Rights Movement events including the 1961 Freedom Riders bus burning. The city's natural setting in the Blue Ridge foothills, its proximity to Cheaha Mountain—Alabama's highest peak—and the recreational resources of the surrounding Talladega National Forest give it a landscape context of genuine distinction.
