Golf in Columbiana

Columbiana is the county seat of Shelby County, the administrative center of one of Alabama's fastest-growing counties even as the county's population centers have shifted dramatically toward the Birmingham suburban corridor in the north. The county seat's historic character and its position in the rolling terrain of the Shelby County piedmont south of the metropolitan area give it a different identity than the rapidly developing communities of the county's northern tier, maintaining the courthouse town character of an Alabama county seat while serving as the governmental anchor for a county undergoing profound demographic transformation.
