Overview
Towering pines and two large lakes frame many holes on this expansive layout just south of Birmingham. Significant elevation changes dictate a layout that plays up and down the banks that surround the two lakes, which are connected by a stunning waterfall that separates the ninth and 18th greens. With wide landing areas and large greens, there is ample room for wayward shots. The course tips out over 8,000 yards, but there are five sets of tees to accommodate all players. Note: The course is temporarily closed due to green damage caused by misapplied herbicide.

Review
“Beautiful course on rolling terrain that provides infinite challenge, especially if you go back and play from tees where you probably don't belong, such as the ones measuring 8,191 yards!!. Excellent use of water features for both strategy and aesthetics. Extremely difficult to walk, however, even if one has a cart. The walk to numerous greens is long and difficult from the cart path. A significant number of blind shots, which is more of a problem without a GPS system, at least for a first time player."

“Spectacular conditions and scenery; exceptional hotel and accommodations; beautiful, expansive holes, but lacks challenge... widest fairways you'll ever play on several holes; wonderfully enjoyable property."

“Although not designed by Robt Trent Jones, this is a very good course. Generous fairways but big greens with lots of slope. Can be played as long as 8191 yards. Very scenic with lots of trees and water. One of the best on the RTJ Trail."

“If you think you're a big hitter, play this course from the tips (8200 yards)...you'll find 250 yard forced carries over water on several holes that will let you know if you're right."
