Golf in Marion

Marion is the county seat of Perry County in Alabama's Black Belt, home to Marion Military Institute—one of Alabama's oldest educational institutions, founded in 1842—and Judson College, a Baptist women's college. The city's educational heritage and its position in the heart of the Black Belt give it a community character that combines antebellum historical depth with ongoing civic commitment to educational excellence, and the golf course at Marion Military Institute reflects the recreational traditions of a military preparatory school in this historic central Alabama community.
