Whirlwind tour through north part of Robert Trent Jones golf trail

[mhays26]

Just finished my plans for a 3 day Memorial Day weekend tour of the north part of the Robert Trent Jones golf trail in Alabama. They have a special for 3 days unlimited golf for $144pp. We are playing the Schoolmaster and Fighting Joe at The Shoals in Muscle Shoals, the Highlands and River Course at Hampton Cove in Huntsville, and the Ridge and the Valley at Oxmoor in Birmingham. Chose these cause they are the quickest to get to from Central Arkansas. Anybody been on any of these courses??

I have played all these courses. They are all wonderful. The Fighting Joe is by far the hardest its a links style with super tall rough and narrow fairways not to narrow though and WOW it's LOOOONG. School Master is lots easier and more forgiving. The Highlands is in a transition to a links style now it should be done by the time you get there its rolling hills elevated greens. The River Course is pretty flat lots of water and sand very fun course to play. The Valley and Ridge courses are my favorites of all those I can't even explain these execpt very hilly and...........well IMO Perfect you will love these 2. But all of them are great courses I hope this helps.

PS......For the Fighting Joe take a few extra balls you might need them

Sweet! Recommend any good steaks in any of the areas while I am in town?

When you are in Huntsville for the Hampton Cove Courses I would recommend Conners Steak and Seafood its about a 20 min drive from the golf course. Just ask the folks a the hotel you are staying at the can tell you how to get there. If you are staying in the Ebassy Suites they have a Ruth Chris Steak House but I would still recommend Conner's their Fillet is AMAZING.
