About the RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National
Built by legendary British-American golf architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is a collection of championship-caliber courses scattered across Alabama.
Foremost among the sites is Grand National, an award-winning three-course, 54-hole golf course that draws visitors from all over the globe.
Built around the jaw-dropping 600-acre Lake Saugahatchee, Grand National was described by Robert Trent Jones Sr. himself as, “the single greatest natural site for golf he had ever seen.”
1. Play courses designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr.
The RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National features two championship-caliber courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., each featuring stunning views of Lake Saugahatchee:
- As the name suggests, the scenic Lake Course takes players along the banks of Lake Saugahatchee, with 12 of its 18 holes hugging the waterline.
- Newly renovated, the Links Course is the cornerstone course of Grand National and features new tees, bunkers and the very best TifEagle Ultradwarf putting greens.
- In addition to the Lake and Links courses, Grand National’s Short Course is an 18-hole course of Par 3’s that is every bit as enjoyable as the two championship courses.
Pro tip: The RTJ Golf Trail offers discounted Winter Specials from mid-November to March 9.
