Golf in Decatur

Decatur is one of north Alabama's major industrial and commercial cities, a Morgan County community on the Tennessee River whose history as a railroad hub and its subsequent development as a center for chemical, aluminum, and textile manufacturing established it as the industrial anchor of the middle Tennessee Valley in Alabama. The city's position on the river and its well-developed industrial infrastructure give it a character that bridges agricultural heritage and industrial modernity, and its golf market—with private clubs, public parks, and accessible daily-fee facilities—reflects the recreational traditions of a mid-size northern Alabama city with diverse economic roots.
