Golf in Muscle Shoals

Muscle Shoals is a Colbert County city in the Shoals area of northwest Alabama, one of the four Quad Cities along the Tennessee River that together constitute the cultural and commercial center of the northwest Alabama region. The city's extraordinary legacy in American music—FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound recorded Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and hundreds of other artists—has made Muscle Shoals famous far beyond its population, and the musical heritage of the Shoals area shapes the community's identity in ways that distinguish it from other small cities of comparable size in the Alabama highlands.
