Super long from the tips. Some cool holes and good views. Typical RTJ course but feels a little bit nicer than some others.

Students get awesome discount to play here. $75 was a steal for this course. Very challenging and has length and lots of trouble. It’s a brute of a course but very memorable.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Alabama. Rankings refresh about hourly.
