Golf in Monroeville

Monroeville is the county seat of Monroe County in south Alabama, a small city whose literary heritage as the hometown of Harper Lee—author of To Kill a Mockingbird—and Truman Capote has given it a cultural significance far beyond its population. The Old Courthouse Museum, which served as the model for the courthouse scenes in Lee's novel, draws literary pilgrims to this corner of the Alabama coastal plain, and the annual production of a stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird has made Monroeville a unique destination in the landscape of small-town Alabama.
