RTJ Trail
Oxmoor Valley Valley
Longer valley-floor public golf
Valley is useful, playable, and long. It is not the reason to come to Birmingham, but it can absolutely fill out a 36-hole day if the group wants volume and does not want to drive.

Our third golf course on the RTJ golf trails - Oxmoor Valley.
Valley Course - This is probably my least favorite, compared to Silver Lakes and Ross Bridge.
Layout was ok. Conditions were so so. Lots of brown spots on the fairway. Decent course for local residents that live nea

Very nice manicured course. Love all these courses. The trail is a must play for golfers of all levels. The price is great especially with the trail card. Best courses around for the money.

The course is in very good shape, as you would expect from a RTJ course. The greens are not for the faint of heart. They are very fast. Even though you will ride the course there is still a lot of walking involved, so be prepared. Greens 17 and 18 are uphill and right now it's 90

Other courses in the same trip.
Strong play
Grand National Lake
The Lake Course is the Grand National headliner and the one Auburn-area round that feels most like an actual destination anchor.
Strong play
Grand National Links
The Links Course is not links in the Scotland sense, but do not get cute about the name.
Strong play
Grand National Short Course
This is not a throwaway arrival-day toy.
Strong play
Ross Bridge
Ross Bridge is the luxury-facing course on the Trail and the one that looks most like a modern destination resort.
Strong play
Oxmoor Valley Ridge
Ridge is the Oxmoor course most groups should prioritize.
Strong play
Capitol Hill Judge
The Judge is the drama round at Capitol Hill, but it is not currently a normal planning piece while renovation work is underway.
Strong play
Capitol Hill Senator
Senator is the cleanest tournament-style option at Capitol Hill and often the most enjoyable for stronger groups.
Strong play
Capitol Hill Legislator
Legislator is the third wheel, but a useful third wheel.
