 Spring Free Tuesdays
 
  Visions of sugar plums may be dancing in others’ heads, but golfers are dreaming of 
						Spring greens. And with 486 holes of championship golf on the Alabama Trail, you’ll have more than enough to dream about. 
						Once again, you can play three days and get a Tuesday for free. 
 That’s an especially good deal, since 
						Golf Digest already proclaimed the RTJ Golf Trail as the best value in the country and 
						Golf World  listed two Trail courses, Grand National in Auburn/Opelika and Capitol Hill in Prattville, as the number one and number two public courses in the country. So what more could you want? 
						The Trail is number one for value and quality!
