While no major professional championships grace its fairways, the course has hosted numerous state and regional events.

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.
