When Golf Digest selected Alabama the 3rd best state for golf value a couple of years ago, it became obvious that the state was a major player on the golf scene. Due in part to the success of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, Alabama finds itself at the pinnacle of the golfing world. Golf course architect Robert Trent Jones saw the group of public courses he designed in Alabama as his version of Michelangelo’s masterful artwork in the Sistine Chapel. The 26 courses known as the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, totals 468 holes at eleven locations across the state.
The RTJ Golf Trail meanders from the beautiful foothills of the Appalachians in North Alabama to the calm, blue water of the Gulf of Mexico in the South. Each golf location along the way offers challenging golf, great scenery, top-end lodging and amenities, and most important….enjoyble golf for all golfers! Trail locations are conveniently located near an interstate highway or major state road making a Trail itinerary easy to navigate and enjoy – not only great for golf, but natural and cultural places of interest in local cities and towns.
