Trail showpiece with the longest stretch of holes in the world at the time of opening — Robert Trent Jones Jr. design at resort-quality conditions.

Frequently ranked among America's top 10 public courses — 36 holes set along the shores of Lake Saugahatchee.

Open, wind-swept links-style companion to the Lake Course — wide fairways and spectacular lakeside panoramas.

Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s personal favorite of his own designs — dramatic water features and the most ambitious course on the Trail.

Companion to the Judge — equally well-maintained with a more open, risk-reward design style and sweeping Alabama River views.

The third course at Capitol Hill — a more player-friendly layout that complements the Judge and Senator courses, with the same excellent RTJ Trail conditions.

Rolling terrain through the Oxmoor Valley with sweeping views — one of the most visually dramatic courses on the Trail.

More scenic, valley-floor companion to the Ridge — equally well-maintained and a great pairing for a Birmingham golf trip.

Rees Jones design in the foothills near Huntsville — panoramic mountain views and one of the most underrated courses on the Trail.

27-hole facility east of Birmingham — the names say it all; challenging, beautiful, and one of the Trail's premier sites.

The River Course at Hampton Cove — a scenic layout following the Flint River with classic RTJ Trail quality and excellent value.

27 holes through towering magnolias near Mobile — host of former PGA Tour events and the Trail's southernmost gem.

A fun 11-hole par-3 course at Hampton Cove — perfect for a quick round or a casual afternoon complement to the championship courses.

The Falls Course at Magnolia Grove — a challenging layout with dramatic elevation changes and water features, rare for the Gulf Coast region.

An 18-hole par-3 course at Magnolia Grove — often cited as the best par-3 course in the United States. A must-play if you're in the area.
