One of the outstanding contributions made by Alcoa Inc. for recreation was the donation of the land for the building of a golf course, which became the Green Meadow Country Club. Located on Louisville Road, the construction of the first nine holes was begun in 1924 and opened for play in the early summer of 1925. Mr. E.F. Ames was the Club’s first president.

Westgate is a relatively newer subdivision near Green Meadow.
