Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals
Muscle Shoals, Alabama • 36 Championship Holes
The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals is home to two
18-hole championship courses and lies
between the Wheeler and Wilson dams on the Tennessee River. Wheeler
Dam is named in honor of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler - the
only Confederate General to attain the same rank later in the United
States Army.
The Fighting Joe course at The Shoals was the first Trail course to break 8,000 yards.
Travel + Leisure Golf named
Fighting Joe one of the top new courses in 2004. The second course, the
Schoolmaster (named for President Woodrow Wilson who was responsible for
getting Wilson Dam built and was also known as "The Schoolmaster" of
politics), opened in the Summer of 2005.

FIGHTING JOE |
The
Fighting Joe is long, really long, and this links style
course is simply good straight-forward golf. Some say the
spectacular 17th hole is the signature hole on the course,
but the 18th green overlooking Wilson Lake on the Tennessee
River will distract you with its beauty, if not its
treachery. |
|
SCHOOLMASTER |
The
tree-lined Schoolmaster is more traditional golf with every
hole keeping with the natural topography along the Tennessee
River. It's wooded, rolling and spectacular. It's hard to
beat the beauty that the par-3 eighteenth hole holds on the
high bluffs over the river. |
