Springhouse Golf Club & Lodge is a golf-focused resort property at 1 Willow Point Road in Alexander City, Alabama, on the shores of Lake Martin — one of the largest man-made lakes in the eastern United States. The lodge anchors a destination experience built around the acclaimed Springhouse Golf Club, formerly known as Willow Point Golf Club, a course associated with Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail that draws golfers to this scenic corner of central Alabama.
Lake Martin covers approximately 40,000 acres with 750 miles of shoreline, and the lodge's position directly on the lake provides guests with access to outstanding water recreation alongside the championship golf course. Kayaking, fishing for largemouth bass and crappie, and boating from the lodge's lake access complement the golf as the property's primary draws. The natural surroundings of pine-covered hills and the lake's clear water establish a genuinely tranquil retreat that appeals to guests seeking distance from Alabama's urban environments.
Accommodations include Standard Rooms in the main lodge building, lakeside Cottages with direct lake views, and Golf Villas positioned along the fairways. The property's restaurant serves breakfast and dinner featuring hearty Southern comfort food. An outdoor pool provides a social gathering point during the warmer months of spring through fall.
Alexander City is located approximately 75 miles east of Birmingham via US-280 and approximately 60 miles northeast of Montgomery, positioning the lodge as a practical weekend retreat from either city. The surrounding Lake Martin communities of Dadeville and Kowaliga — the latter associated with Hank Williams's classic song "Kaw-Liga," written about the Kowaliga area — add regional character to a stay in this part of Alabama. Nightly rates range from $150 to $300, with golf packages available combining lodging and tee times for multi-night stays.
