Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail At The Shoals: Fighting Joe
Muscle Shoals, AL • Public
Overview
Near the Tennessee border in northwestern Alabama, the Fighting Joe layout at The Shoals can play upwards of 8,000 yards from the tips. Five sets of tees allows the course to accommodate all levels of players. This generally flat track offers wide landing areas, which are often framed by thick native grass. The finish is especially strong, with the winding risk-reward par-5 17th setting up a scenic par-3 finisher with beautiful views of the Tennessee River.

Review
“This is a wonderful course that is northern Alabama and part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf trail. My wife and I visited last year and thoroughly enjoyed both courses at the Shoals. The Fighting Joe course is in great condition with well maintained bermuda fairways and large greens. Throughout the course water comes into play at times and requires accurate tee shots. The course does have one of the longest par 5s that I have ever seen with the 12th stretching out to 712 yards. Don't play from there, but take a look back and dream. This is a great place to play."
