Old Overton Club

Old Overton Club is the private golf anchor of Liberty Park, one of the Birmingham metro's largest master-planned communities. Founded in 1993 as a private, developer-owned club, its Tom Fazio & Jerry Pate-designed course was voted 'Best New Private Course' in America by Golf Digest in 1994 and remains rated among Alabama's best private courses. This research pass confirms the relationship the discovery pass flagged for resolution: Liberty Park's own master-plan materials describe a 3,500+ acre mixed-use development containing six gated residential sub-communities, roughly 2,300 residential lots, a 100-acre office park, a sports/recreation park, two schools -- and 'a championship 18-hole golf course.' That course is Old Overton Club itself, not a second, separate facility. Liberty Park is therefore best modeled as the residential Community record tied to Old Overton Club via a direct relationship, exactly as the manifest instructed, rather than as its own candidate anchor.

Membership at Old Overton is invitation/sponsorship-based: prospective members must have a member sponsor plus a reference letter from that sponsor and one additional member, and must be approved before membership is granted; the club does not share pricing publicly outside the application process. That structure means Liberty Park residents get proximity and views, not automatic access -- a distinction buyers should not blur.
