RTJ Golf Trail at Ross Bridge

Second RTJ golf trails - Ross bridge. Beautiful. Immaculate condition. It is also one of the longest, if you play from the black tees and toughest course out of all seven courses (Silver Lakes, Ross Bridge, Oxmoor-Valley, Grand Nationals-Links course, Capital Hills - Legislators, Lakewood-Azalea, Magnolia Grove-Crossings) we played on the RTJ trails. All other tees are not as long but still very challenging. It is undulated and very true target golf, you name it, they got it. Definitely not for beginners. Golf staffs (pro shop, marshals, OSP) were all friendly and professionals, except for the lady working at the bar (grab n go) counter. We happened to be playing on the coldest day in December 2025. We asked for hot water after paying for 4 breakfast sandwiches. She bluntly said there’s no hot water. So we went into the hotel restaurant, just steps from the bar / quick bites counter to get some hot water. The manager at the restaurant was surprised, gave us hot water, then kindly told us that hot water is available where we just purchased the sandwiches.

Truly beautiful course that plays very challenging but is more than worth the price and effort to travel and play early. We played 7am mid-week and practically had the place to ourselves, finishing in just over 3 hours. I see others taking 5+ but realize those must be popular times and crowded fields. One of our favorite golf experiences ever!

Great course. Staff was very attentive and courteous. Great layout and in good shape. Beautiful surroundings. The greens are very large, fast and undulating. You must be on the correct level and area. Not the most receptive so pin seeking is tough. Got to know where to land the approach. Will definitely play again.

First golf trip ever, my friend suggested RTJ trail in Alabama. We flew in from Philadelphia. Played Capitol Hill (Judge & Senator), played Silver Lakes and finally Ross Bridge before flying back home. This course was the best golf course I’ve ever played. I rarely take pictures but couldn’t help myself on this trip. These two pictures don’t do the course justice. We played the course 10/13/25.

Ridiculously gorgeous course. It was humbling to play where so many legends have walked. We considered staying another night, mainly because the hotel and golf staff were so kind and helpful. Every golfer needs Ross Bridge on their bucket list! Truly a vacation that you walk away from completely happy (have to shake off the bad shots🤷‍♀️). Plus, the golf cart sign is funny🙂

This course was immaculate. The service almost everywhere was great, with the exception of few areas. The two areas being paying for our round the staff in the pro shop weren’t friendly or welcoming and the second being the bar where they sent me to get ice. Initially only one other person was at the bar before the lady took my order for ice, 10 minutes later still didn’t bring me the ice so I left. The staff outside were so friendly and helpful, Frank the player assistant came around more than once to see how we were doing and the staff to help you to your car after your round finished were also so great.

Absolutely amazing golf course that was in superb shape. Even for the cold day that we played the leaves were changing colors and the course was in excellent condition. Enjoy your round and just take your time and soak in the scenery.
