Course Overview:
3000 Robert Trent Jones Trail, Opelika, Alabama  36801
Par: 72  Yardage: 7149  Slope: 136  Rating: 74.3


The Lake Course was named by Golf Digest as the 4th 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.  With 12 holes hugging the shore, Grand National’s Lake Course is every bit as scenic as the Links Course. Not only is the quartet of par threes on the Lake Course as good as any in the nation, the 230-yard, island green 15th may be the single prettiest hole on the Trail.
