Another masterpiece. That's why I keep coming back and our group enjoyed the Trail so much, they didn't want to discuss any other venues for our late fall trip next year.

I played the lakes and the par three. Both course were in good condition and the layout of both were excellent. Highly recommend this course to anyone of decent skill.

Too many to list. Add the southern hospitality and you feel like the course was built just for the day you decide to play.

Clubhouse seems a little smaller than some of the other RTJ sites.

A little home-town bias here, but I've played plenty of courses near and far. You won't find a better golf system in the U.S. than the RTJ Trail. Throw in average green fees in the $35-55 range and these courses can't be beat. Now, more specifically about Grand National...if you just want an enjoyable, challenging round, play the Lakes Course. The Links Course is a monster(lost 12 balls last time I played it). The Short Course is as good as par-3 golf gets. In closing, the Lakes Course has hosted the Nike Tour championship, the LPGA Tournament of Champions, the 2000 NCAA championship and is slated to hold the women's NCAA championship in 2004. What better compliment does a single track of 18 holes need? The only negative thing I can say about the Grand National site is the driving range could have been better designed. From the primary hitting area, all shots are down a fairly steep slope and the designated "greens" don't really help you judge how the real course greens will hold a shot.

Outstanding course layout, variety of holes. A really special golf destination. Pace of play was excellent.

Course is so hilly that if you have to play cartpath only rule, there should be cartpaths on BOTH sides of the fairway!

Played both courses in early March during period of heavy rain. Cartpath only rule was a killer while playing two rounds. Spent a lot of time scrambling across fairways to hit, then back again. Course was a little beat up after winter, mostly fairways and tee boxes. Greens were in excellent shape. This is a classic RTJ Trail course. Pars are really earned and bad shots really hurt. Classic example was an excellently played par 5 right up to short approach shot to elevated green. I thought I hit a perfect wedge, only to climb up to green and find ball had rolled off the back of the narrow green. Ouch! Two of the toughest courses I have ever played.

This year is my 3rd trip to the trail at Grand National. Every shot is a challenge, if you enjoy your round by the good shots that you make this course is a winner. Both courses are better than the Black at Bethpage NY ,site of the 2002 open. Better than Garden City golf club, a top 30 in the country. The best value around. The par 3 course aint for kids. Not pitch and putt. think of 18 great par 3's that each can be played to 200 yds, plus or minus 25.
There is no ending up on another holes fairway, each hole is an independant chapter. I had to concentrate so deeply to execute the shot that I had to make, that I had a truly spectacular experience on 3 31 I play the new tracks aat Prattville. Forget Myrtle go tot Ala. Jim

The course has several dog leg holes that demand you to place your tee shots precisely or else you will be playing for bogey
