Thinking About Living in Canebrake Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Canebrake Club and the surrounding Huntsville golf market.
Canebrake is a North Alabama golf-residential development in Athens, Limestone County -- about 20 minutes from Huntsville, Madison, Decatur, and Redstone Arsenal -- built around an 850-acre site with an 18-hole championship course designed by architect Ron Garl, with Piney Creek running through several holes. The course hosted the Alabama Open in 2007. The semi-private club includes a clubhouse with a pro shop, grille, and members-only lounge (Partini's), plus a separate tennis/swim complex with six clay courts. Housing spans club cottages, golf villas, executive patio homes, and larger custom estates on golf-course and lakefront lots, marketed explicitly as 'North Alabama's leading real estate development' with a full country-club lifestyle built into the community.
Golf & Course
An 18-hole championship course designed by Ron Garl across 850 acres of tree-lined fairways, with Piney Creek running through several holes; hosted the Alabama Open in 2007.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The club is semi-private with tiered membership (Full, Junior, Gen Y golf memberships), but golf membership is not required to live in the community -- non-member residents instead pay a reported $25/month HOA fee. This is a genuine case of bundled residential development around a golf amenity without mandatory club membership for every homeowner.
