Capitol Hill (Senator)
RTJ Golf Trail - Capitol Hill (Senator course): Clearly this Senator, the third excellent course at Capitol Hill on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, has roots that lie in Britain or Ireland, such are its open, rolling, links-style characteristics. All the traditional seaside links features are here in abundance, only the sea views are missing. The terrain is treeless and expansive, with hills and mounds concealing many of the greens from the tee; the dune-like mounding and 250 / 150 yard marker posts providing your line from the tee. With narrow-ish tumbling fairways, clinging semi-rough and ball-swallowing knee-high grass on top of the mounds, this is a layout that challenges and tests both amateurs and professionals alike. Small, round, pot bunkers are liberally scattered along the relatively narrow fairways, which lead you to undulating greens that are sometimes elevated, sometimes tucked in between the dunes. In classic Scottish fashion, the par-4 3rd hole and par-3 7th share a double-green.
The Senator is a hugely enjoyable links-style golf course that weaves its way through treeless hills and mounds, all very reminiscent of playing the famous links of St Andrews or Ballybunion - most especially if the wind blows. If played from the tips at 7697 yards, the Senator becomes truly penal - more akin too Carnoustie, or should that be Car-nastie !
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

The Senator course will host the Navistar LPGA Classic in 2007. >> ABOUT THE TRAIL : The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is a unique collection of eleven excellent golf venues spread through the State of Alabama. Dr. David Bronner, the then CEO of the organisation that ran the Alabama state-employees pension funds, originally conceived the idea of the Trail. He was convinced that creating a top-quality golf trail would attract golfers from near and far, raise Alabama's profile and at the same time earn a good return for the pension fund monies invested in the project - the world's largest golf course building project ever undertaken. The original courses on the Trail (located at Hampton Cove, Silver Lakes, Oxmoor Valley, Capitol Hill, Grand National, Cambrian Ridge, Magnolia Grove, and Highland Oaks) were all designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened for play in 1992. Lakewood GC at Point Clear was acquired along with the Grand Hotel; its two golf courses were recently renovated and included in the Trail. Although not designed by Trent Jones, The Shoals and Ross Bridge were added to the Trail in more recent years.
