Seasonal Agronomy Intern By Wicker Point GC and Willow Point Golf and CCCourse DescriptionsWicker Point Golf ClubWicker Point Golf Club is the only Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design in Alabama. Nestled along the Wicker Point peninsula on the pristine shores of Lake Martin, this private course is defined by serene pine plantations, meandering creeks, and a spectacular lakefront back nine. The course opened in September 2023 and features Zeonzoysia tees, fairways, and rough, TifEagle bermuda greens, TifTuf bermuda driving range, and native grasses framing the edges of the holes.Recognition: Golf Digest runner-up in the 2023 Best New Private Course category and ranked #2 in Alabama in its first year of eligibility. GOLF Magazine ranked the course #1 in the state in 2025.Willow Point Golf Country ClubWillow Point Golf Country Club is in the final stages of a renovation led by world-renowned golf course architects Dana Fry and Jason Straka. The large-scale renovation modernized the greens, tees, fairways, bunkers, and irrigation system. Two areas of focus during the renovation were to lower the elevation of all the greens positioned on Lake Martin to improve playability and sightlines of the lake, and update the positioning and style of bunkers to a “Bullnose” sodded rolled edge to enhance the lines and shadows across all the property. The course will reopen in late spring or early summer of 2026.The renovated championship layout blends two distinct experiences. The front nine features tree-lined fairways winding away from Lake Martin before returning to the shoreline. The final nine boasts six dramatic holes along Lake Martin with expansive water views. The redesigned course will place high value on accuracy off the tee and precise irons into guarded greens complexes. When complete, Willow Point will play nearly 7,600 yards and feature Zeon Zoysia tees and fairways, TifEagle bermuda greens, 419 bermuda rough and Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue.
