Set on rolling terrain at the edge of Talladega
National Forest between Anniston and Gadsden, Silver Lakes Golf
Club features three championship nine holes with scenic
views of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains. This facility is anchored by a
number of strong par fours that play to pedestal greens perched 30 to 40
feet above fairway level. The Club features the most unique and aptly
named nines on the RTJ Golf Trail:

The Heartbreaker nine is dubbed by many
as the most challenging nine on the Trail with three spectacular finishing
holes. Hole numbers 7, 8, and 9 take you from the highest elevation on the
property to the lowest. The 448-yard par-4 ninth with water rippling down
the entire left side of the hole provides great views and challenge as the
elevation drops toward the large green below.
The Backbreaker nine,
the last championship course to open on the Trail, is a photographer’s dream
boasting beautiful views of the Appalachian foothills from its elevated
tees, wide fairways and demanding greens. The par-5 seventh, a 623-yard
thriller (466 from the middle tees), brings water into play not once, but
twice.
The Mindbreaker,
although slightly easier test than the other two courses, demands well
thought-out shotmaking. Aptly named for the variety of uphill, downhill
and sidehill approaches will have you second guessing shot decisions!
