Farmlinks Golf Club at Pursell Farms

Overview: FarmLinks at Pursell Farms is set across the rolling Alabama landscape around Sylacauga, with broad fairways, woodland edges, and open farm views. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry created a course that follows the contours of the property and places the rural setting at the center of the experience.

History: FarmLinks opened in 2003 as part of Pursell Farms. The farm’s own history describes it as a research and demonstration course designed to explore turf, agronomy, and golf-course practices while also serving as a playable layout.

Did You Know? FarmLinks was created as a research and demonstration course, so its history is tied not only to golf architecture but also to the study of turf and course management.
