Another attraction close to Williams Pointe is the Sunset Landing Golf Course. Formerly known as the Jetport Municipal Golf Course, this 18-hole course is adjacent to the nearby international airfield. The course is fairly flat and easily walkable, with well-maintained greens and wide-open fairways. Due to the flat nature of the course, the wind can sometimes be a factor; there is also a lake that makes at least one hole a bit more challenging.

The University of Alabama in Huntsville campus is also situated along the interstate, north of the Army airfield on the way to downtown.
