The Fairmont Country Club was a private country club established by Birmingham's Eastern European Jewish community in 1944. It was in some ways a continuation of the Progress Club, which had been founded in 1920 by members of the same community and moldered during the Great Depression.
Fairmont Country Club merged with Hillcrest Golf and Country Club, founded in 1922 by members of the Reformed German-Jewish Community. The merger, which took place on May 20, 1968, resulted in establishment of the Pine Tree Country Club.
