Legislator at RTJ Golf Trail at Capitol Hill Golf Club

Capitol Hill's Legislator course, part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail near Prattville, Alabama, presents a formidable challenge characterized by its unique blend of penal bunkering and undulating greens that tests a golfer's mettle. Designed in the Modern era, the course traverses relatively flat terrain, yet feels deceptively long due to its strategically placed hazards and demanding approach shots. Errant tee shots find the gnarly bunkers and collection areas, whilst accurate iron play is rewarded with birdie opportunities. The course favors strategic play over brute power.

Designed by Roger Rulewich under the watchful eye of Robert Trent Jones Sr., The Legislator demands thoughtful navigation rather than relying solely on raw power. While no major professional championships grace its fairways, the course has hosted numerous state and regional events.

The club enjoys a strong local following, drawing from the surrounding communities. Post-round conversation often revolves around the course's difficulty, tempered by the Southern hospitality synonymous with Alabama golf. Capitol Hill's Legislator is a thinking man's course—a challenge, an experience, and a testament to strategic golf.
