Golf in Greensboro

Greensboro is the county seat of Hale County in the Alabama Black Belt, a small city whose ante-bellum character—reflected in its Greek Revival architecture and plantation heritage—connects it to the cotton economy that once defined the prosperity of this region's planter class. Greensboro and Hale County participated in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and the community's history reflects the complex social transformation that Alabama's Black Belt has undergone since the era when the plantation economy defined the region's social order and the structure of rural life.
