Golf in Sumiton

Sumiton is a Walker County community in the coalfields of northwest Alabama, part of the industrial landscape that was built around coal mining in the Walker County hills between Birmingham and Jasper. The community reflects the working-class heritage of the Alabama coal industry and the transition that these communities have undergone as the coal economy has declined, and Horse Creek Golf Course provides accessible recreational golf for a community whose recreational traditions reflect the outdoor culture of the Alabama highlands.
