Valley Hill Country Club

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's northernmost outpost delivers his signature risk-reward philosophy through dramatic elevation changes that define this Appalachian foothills layout. Jones carved fairways that plunge 200 feet from tee to green on several holes, creating approach shots that demand precise distance control against Alabama's rolling hardwood backdrop. The par-3 17th over a ravine remains one of the Trail's most photographed holes, but it's the strategic bunkering on the uphill par-4 finishing hole that separates weekend warriors from serious players.
