The RTJ Golf Trail Story
In the late 80’s Dr. David Bronner, CEO of the Retirement Systems of Alabama, came up with the brilliant idea of building an enormous golf trail through the entire state. He teamed with Robert Trent Jones, Sr., arguably the premier golf course architect in the world, who jumped at the chance and emerged from semi-retirement to tackle the project, which is the largest and most successful golf construction project ever attempted anywhere in the world.
Initially seven sites were constructed: Hampton Cove in Huntsville, Oxmoor Valley in Birmingham, Silver Lakes in Anniston, Grand National in Opelika, Cambrian Ridge in Greenville, Highland Oaks in Dothan, and Magnolia Grove in Mobile. Capitol Hill in Montgomery was added in 1999 and The Shoals in Florence and Ross Bridge in Birmingham opened in 2005.
