The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is a collection of 11 championship caliber golf courses, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., distributed across the state of Alabama, as part of investments by the Retirement Systems of Alabama. The Trail started with 378 holes at eight sites throughout the state, but has grown to 468 holes at eleven sites. The “Trail” offers genuine championship layouts that will stand the test of time and pose major tests of golf for years to come. The rationale: No one talks about or remembers the easy courses. What lodges in a golfer’s mind is the one brilliant shot that (momentarily) conquers a tough hole. The 11 golf courses that make up the Robert Trent Jones Trail are Cambrian Ridge, Capitol Hill, Grand National, Hampton Cove, Highland Oaks, Lakewood Golf Club, Magnolia Grove, Oxmoor Valley, Ross Bridge, Silver Lakes, and The Shoals.
