Just more "clouds without rain" marketing practices? " Located in the Tennessee Valley, overlooking the majestic 69,000-acre Guntersville Reservoir, Guntersville State Park ranges over 6,000 acres of natural woodlands. The park has an 18-hole championship golf course, a beach complex, fishing center, hiking trails, nature programs and a day-use area. Modern campground and lakeview cottages on the lake, coupled with a resort lodge on the pinnacle of Taylor Mountain, and chalets on the ridge-tops provide a selection of overnight accommodations beyond comparison." Not hardly, this is typical of the quality that Alabama offers. I just completed several days stay here, and the food is very well prepared and the menu and the buffet offer wide choices, the rooms offer views that are "made in dreams," of the lake and valley, and the facilities are well laid out including an RV park, complete with its own convenience store.

Alabama is a state that "keeps the golfer in mind." They have state parks with golf courses that fit the budget minded. They may skimp on green fees, but not on quality of courses you get for the money! With inexpensive golf options like Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores and Oak Mountain in Birmingham. Montgomery's Lagoon Park and Mobile's Azalea City are challenging municipal layouts, "one may play too much, but they won't spend too much."
