The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail presently consists of 7 or 8 of the worlds best golf courses. Many national and professional tournaments have already been played on these courses and many more are being developed for the future. People from all over the world are coming to Alabama to play these courses, which in spite of being such well designed, high quality courses are priced at municipal course rates easily affordable by a wide variety of folks. Elite world class golf courses accessible by non-elitists. At least Alabama doesn't find itself ranked 45th or lower in this regard. Now if we can just get some politicians with balls enough to reform our century old joke of a constitution and its tax structure which is so advantageous to timber and insurance companies that Alabamians can only say "thank you, may I have another" as these companies repeatedly rape this beautiful state. I wish they had the same enthusiasm in creating excellent school funding that they exhibit in creating another of these world class golf courses. Priorities! And BTW, the spitoons are only located on odd numbered holes...

They're not really priced at munincipal rates. The last time I went it cost about $65 to ride 18 @ Hampton Cove. You are correct though. It is the best system of public courses in the country, maybe the world. If you've never played one it is worth the effort. These course are immaculate and extremely challenging. Some states have begun to copy the idea because of the rather large increase in tourism the state has realized.
