Second RTJ golf trails - Ross bridge. Beautiful. Immaculate condition. It is also one of the longest, if you play from the black tees and toughest course out of all seven courses (Silver Lakes, Ross Bridge, Oxmoor-Valley, Grand Nationals-Links course, Capital Hills - Legislators, Lakewood-Azalea, Magnolia Grove-Crossings) we played on the RTJ trails. All other tees are not as long but still very challenging. It is undulated and very true target golf, you name it, they got it. Definitely not for beginners. Golf staffs (pro shop, marshals, OSP) were all friendly and professionals, except for t…

Ross Bridge is always in great condition, staff is always very helpful and friendly. Even early in the season with dormant grass surrounding tee boxes,fairways and greens, This place is beautiful and challenging! Definitely make plans to play this course, don't forget your trail card.

Beautiful course and challenging. The greens had alot of sand so short game was tough, to be expected after hard rain. We had a blast playing here and will be back.

Truly beautiful course that plays very challenging but is more than worth the price and effort to travel and play early. We played 7am mid-week and practically had the place to ourselves, finishing in just over 3 hours. I see others taking 5+ but realize those must be popular times and crowded fields. One of our favorite golf experiences ever!

Great course. Staff was very attentive and courteous. Great layout and in good shape. Beautiful surroundings. The greens are very large, fast and undulating. You must be on the correct level and area. Not the most receptive so pin seeking is tough. Got to know where to land the approach. Will definitely play again.

The course is fantastic. The But their service sucks. DO NOT BUY A PLAY AGAIN PACKAGE. Pro shop staff are arrogant and unfriendly. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. They allowed 8-somes. No flexibility to play earlier even though we were ready and no one was near the tee.

Ridiculously gorgeous course. It was humbling to play where so many legends have walked. We considered staying another night, mainly because the hotel and golf staff were so kind and helpful. Every golfer needs Ross Bridge on their bucket list! Truly a vacation that you walk away from completely happy (have to shake off the bad shots🤷‍♀️). Plus, the golf cart sign is funny🙂

Absolutely amazing golf course that was in superb shape. Even for the cold day that we played the leaves were changing colors and the course was in excellent condition. Enjoy your round and just take your time and soak in the scenery.

Better than Augusta. Why in the world is the PGA not holding events here??? And it's open to the public? WOW 😳. This is world class golf. Stay. Play. And experience golf the way God intended.

One of my top 5 courses all time, even in winter conditions it was spectacular. The RTJ trail has done some great work and this one is top shelf. Has some really outstanding views due to the sweeping landscape, natural elevation changes, and evergreens that separate you from other holes. This course alone was reason enough to buy the trail pass and the closest course I have is 2.5 hours away.

Very nice golf course with good conditions, big vistas, and challenging golf. Thought that there was some room to hit shots, so although challenging, it was not brutal. Liked the practice range and chipping green as well. The 4th Hole par 3 over water is my signature hole.

First golf trip ever, my friend suggested RTJ trail in Alabama. We flew in from Philadelphia. Played Capitol Hill (Judge & Senator), played Silver Lakes and finally Ross Bridge before flying back home. This course was the best golf course I’ve ever played. I rarely take pictures but couldn’t help myself on this trip. These two pictures don’t do the course justice. We played the course 10/13/25.
