Lakewood Golf Club at the Grand Hotel

$$$$

AL · Point Clear · Resort · Par 72

Ancient oaks on Mobile Bay

A Perry Maxwell design winding past live oaks, magnolias, and marsh at the historic Grand Hotel on Mobile Bay. Genteel Southern resort golf with a century of patina.

RTJ Capitol Hill The Judge

$$$$

AL · Prattville · Public · Par 72

80-foot drop off the first tee

The crown jewel of the RTJ Trail opens with a tee shot that plummets eighty feet to the fairway below. Long, dramatic, and built to test anyone who walks up.

RTJ Capitol Hill The Senator

$$$$

AL · Prattville · Public · Par 72

Towering-bunker dunes links

An open, windswept links with bunkers tall enough to swallow you whole, and home each September to a pro tour event. Different world from The Judge next door.

RTJ Grand National Lake Course

$$$$

AL · Opelika · Public · Par 72

Twelve holes on the water

Wrapped around 600-acre Lake Saugahatchee, with twelve holes touching water and an island-green par-3 that's pure heart-in-throat. Voted the best public golf value in America for a reason.

RTJ Grand National Links Course

$$$$

AL · Opelika · Public · Par 72

Tour-tested sister track

The Lake Course gets the postcards, but the Links has hosted PGA and LPGA fields and plays every bit as tough at 7,400 yards. Water and elevation around every corner.

RTJ Ross Bridge

$$$$

AL · Hoover · Resort · Par 72

One of the world's longest

Stretching past 9,000 yards from the tips, this resort showpiece tumbles down to an 80-foot waterfall between the 9th and 18th greens. The most luxurious stop on the Trail.

RTJ Hampton Cove Highlands Course

$$$

AL · Owens Cross Roads · Public · Par 72

Treeless Scottish-style links

An open links emulation with no trees lining the fairways, just outside Huntsville. The facility's River Course nearby is famously the only RTJ design without a single bunker.

RTJ Magnolia Grove Crossings Course

$$$

AL · Mobile · Public · Par 72

Southern parkland, big-tour pedigree

The Trail's southernmost stop, a classic parkland layout that's hosted LPGA and Korn Ferry championships near the Gulf Coast. Great golf without the premium sting.

RTJ Oxmoor Valley Ridge Course

$$$

AL · Birmingham · Public · Par 72

Roller-coaster on old mining land

Built on former US Steel ground with 150-foot elevation swings and fairways that pitch and roll through heavy timber, all minutes from downtown Birmingham. Photogenic and a little dizzying.

RTJ The Shoals Fighting Joe

$$$

AL · Muscle Shoals · Public · Par 72

First Trail course past 8,000 yards

An open Scottish-style giant stretched along the Tennessee River between two dams, the first RTJ Trail course to break the 8,000-yard mark. Big sky, big swings.
