about the club

One hundred and eighty rolling acres in the southern portion of Shades Valley, cupped by two ridges of Shades Mountain, watered by a winding brook, and studded with natural hazards were selected in 1929 by the organizational committee of the Mountain Brook Country Club as the setting for the club house and golf course which now constitutes the properties of the Club The vision was for:

• A friendly club with a vibrant membership.

• A restful club, ensconced in a serene and peaceful setting, affording delightful privacy and welcome seclusion from the noise and dust of an industrial city

• A cozy, homelike, comfortable club in which hospitable spirit and southern charm shall be personified in architecture and atmosphere.

• A serviceable club, which shall combine the convenience and service of an up-to-date club with the informality and charm of a country residence.

• An enjoyable club, which can afford complete facilities for healthful outdoor recreation and diversion and pleasant social contact

The clubhouse was built and opened for its members during 1929-30.

During 1939 the Mountain Brook Country Club was reorganized with the new organization known as Mountain Brook Club acquiring the clubhouse, the grounds, the golf course, and adjacent property. In 1968 the Club was reorganized under the provisions of the Alabama Nonprofit Corporation Act.

Perhaps the most famous part of our reputation is the social activities, including excellent food and beverages for the members' enjoyment Entertaining at the Club is a way of life for our members
