Decatur Golf & Country Club

Everyone in Decatur takes great pride in their beautiful little 9-hole golf course, and that positive attitude is definitely on display when you deal with the ultra-friendly folks at the golf course. Always helpful, with smiles on their faces, and particularly friendly to out-of-towners, it sure makes it a joy to play golf when you’re treated with that sort of charming hospitality.

Golf is even better nowadays in Decatur because of the renovated greens, which look pristine and roll true. This course is flat, with water in play on about 3 holes, and the par 36 design offers a good combination of holes. The opener is testy, and not an easy par–it plays 440 yards to a par 4. There are three par 3s, two of which require long irons, and three par 5s, one of which is listed as the number one handicap: the No. 6 hole at 542 yards.

Getting there : From Hwy, 380 exit, take the Airport exit and cross over the highway. Veer right and turn left at the stop sign. Turn right on Country Club Dr.
