The Dogwood Course at Lakewood Golf Club in Point Clear, Alabama offers a classic Gulf Coast golf experience that blends playability, natural beauty, and resort-style charm. Located at the historic Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa and part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, the Dogwood Course complements the more demanding Azalea Course with a layout that is approachable for a wide range of golfers while still delivering plenty of strategic interest.

Set among towering pines, live oaks, and gently rolling terrain, the Dogwood Course features wide fairways, scenic water hazards, and well-placed bunkers that encourage thoughtful shot-making without overwhelming players off the tee. The layout has a relaxed, traditional parkland feel, allowing golfers to enjoy the natural beauty of Alabama’s Gulf Coast while still facing a solid championship test. Multiple tee boxes make the course enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels, from casual resort players to experienced golfers looking for a strategic round.

One of the strengths of the Dogwood Course is its balance between forgiveness and challenge. Generous landing areas invite aggressive drives, but approach shots into large, subtly contoured greens require precision and good course management. Water comes into play on several holes, adding visual appeal and creating memorable risk-reward opportunities throughout the round. The course’s mature trees and landscaped surroundings give it a distinctly Southern atmosphere that fits perfectly with the historic character of Point Clear and Mobile Bay.

The Dogwood Course is also known for its excellent conditioning and smooth pace of play, making it a favorite among golfers seeking a more relaxed resort round without sacrificing quality. When paired with the Azalea Course, Lakewood Club offers one of the most complete golf destinations on the Alabama Gulf Coast, combining championship golf, luxury accommodations, waterfront scenery, and the timeless hospitality of the Grand Hotel.
