Jones Valley Golf Club
Huntsville, Alabama
Designed By John T. Pape
For JNUG VGA
April 8, 1992
Huntsville, Alabama is in North Alabama approximately twenty
miles from the Tennessee border. Including surrounding areas
it has a population of a quarter million or so, many involved
in high tech industry. Jones Valley, which is only
minutes from downtown, forms a part of the eastern central
city limit, and is so named for the Jones family and their
farm, which is still active today. The Valley, as does
Huntsville, lies between some small mountains which are
actually foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. Calm green
fenced cattle pastures rise up the sides of the mountains and
meld into the trees which cover them. There are a couple of
routes through the Valley and I guess I've driven them
thousands of times in my 30 years of residency in this area.
The drive always serves to sooth me and gives me time to sort
my thoughts and enjoy the peace and quiet. Often I've
thought of what a golf course might look like tucked amongst
the trees and pastures, and this JNUG offering is based on
some of those thoughts. Though not real accurate, the
background art does represent the gist of the scenery, for
instance, the real expensive homes overlooking the Valley
from the North, and the Jones Farm in traditional Southern
architecture to the East. The trees represent the cedars,
loblolly pines and others indigenous to the area. Hope you
enjoy many rounds of JNUG golf at Jones Valley Golf Club!
Playing Tips:
* The traps on this course are fairly well hidden, so consult
the overhead view frequently.
* Except for the 18th, the par fives are reachable in two...I
like to gamble, and like to make the rewards worthwhile.
* Water has been strategically located and will force you to
lay up or gamble in some cases.
