Grand National, by all reports, was the single
greatest site for a golf complex Robert Trent Jones, Sr. had ever
seen. Built on 600-acre Lake Saugahatchee, 32 of the 54 holes drape
along its filigreed shores.
Grand National was ranked as the
top public golf course in the 2009 Golf World Readers'
Choice awards. The Links course was named by Golf
Digest as the 2nd best new public course in America in 1993,
followed by the Lake course as the 4th best. Both courses have also
made the top 10 of Golf Digest's list of America's Top 50
Affordable Courses. The three courses at Grand National are also
listed among the nation's 40 Super Value courses by Golf Digest's
Places to Play.
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National
Opelika, Alabama • 36 Championship Holes • 18 Hole Short Course
| LAKE |
 With
twelve holes hugging the shore of Lake Saugahatchee, the
Lake course is one of the most scenic courses you can find.
Not only is the quartet of par threes as good as any in the
nation, the 230-yard island green fifteenth hole may be the
single prettiest hole on the Trail. |
| LINKS |
 The
cornerstone of the complex is the Links course, which is
without a single weakness. The par-four eighteenth hole is
without a doubt one of the strongest finishing holes on the
Trail. The drive must carry a corner of the lake, while the
approach is played to a pedestal green.
|
| SHORT |
 The
Short Course, while overshadowed by the two main tracts, is
a thing of beauty, with more than half the holes touching
the lake. This 18-hole course of one-shotters might be the
finest anywhere in the country. |
