Anybody ever play the RTJ Trail in Alabama?  If so, do any courses stand apart from the rest?  Thinking of booking a trip for March and I'm wondering what the temperatures will be around then.


I've played Highland Oaks in Dothan, AL. It's in the SE corner of the state and is usually very nice there that time of year.

I have played one up in northern Bama, we enjoyed the game but previous rain (spring) made it a difficult game in a beautiful setting. We will go back and keep playing all the RTJ courses while we are able. It's just a long haul for us to get there so it's always a side note to some other excursion. We got book on all the courses but i cannot find it tonight.

I have played the Crossings and the Short Course at Magnolia Grove.  I enjoyed playing both.  I have also played the Ridge at Oxmoor Valley.  As far as the weather goes it could be hit or miss in March.  So far this year the weather has been nice and warm but we could have another cold snap or two. If you wait until the later part of March you should be fine weather wise.  Especially the southern Alabama courses.

RTJ Trail in Alabama?

Most RTJ complex's have two unique 18 hole courses which one will have Bermuda greens and the other would have bent greens.
Also, they have an 18 hole par three course that are fabulous to play.

Two courses are very incredible, one hosts a PGA event - Grand National and Ross Bridge is a very nice resort course with an incredible hotel.
Oxmoor Valley was one of my favorites. They all play differently and are very challenging.
We usually play 36 holes each day, sun up till sun down in the fall.

Each year we hit two different destinations and I would suggest play any of them, you will enjoy the golf and scenery.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
