Course Overview:
3000 Robert Trent Jones Trail, Opelika, Alabama  36801
Par: 72  Yardage: 7311  Slope: 135  Rating: 75.1


The Links Course was named by Golf Digest as the 2nd best new public course in America in 1993.  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. The cornerstone of the complex is the Links Course, which is without a single weakness. The par-four 18th is without a doubt the strongest finishing hole on the Trail. The drive must carry a corner of the lake, while the approach is played to a shallow pedestal green shored up by boulders.
