Golf in Highland Lake

Highland Lake is a Blount County community in the rural foothills north of Birmingham, a small residential community in the rolling forested terrain of the lower Appalachian foothills where Blount County maintains its primarily agricultural and residential character despite its proximity to the metropolitan area. The community participates in the Blount County golf market through Whispering Pines Golf Course, which serves the local rural and suburban population in the landscape of the upper Locust Fork valley. The Highland Lake area reflects the rural residential character of Blount County's southern townships, which maintain agricultural traditions while participating in the recreational infrastructure of the greater Birmingham metropolitan region.
