About the Course: "Dothan Country Club in south Alabama was built in 1960 by Hugh Moore, the construction foreman for the Walter Travis and Colt & Alison nines at Georgia's Sea Island in the late 1920s. He stayed on at the resort as the greenkeeper and eventually went on to design a handful of courses in the southeast. The club has been the site of the Future Masters amateur tournament since 1950, an event won by Tommy Barnes, Andy Bean, Mark Brooks, Shaun Micheel, Stewart Cink and Hudson Swafford among other PGA Tour players. In 2023, architect Billy Fuller, former superintendent of Augusta National and developer of the popular Better Billy Bunker sand liners, completed a major renovation of the golf course that included the installation of new irrigation, drainage, turf, the reconstruction of all tees and greens and the development of a sharpened bunker style that evokes the courses of the 20s with strong top lines and grassed down faces." – GolfDigest.com
