Magnolia Grove (Crossings)
RTJ Golf Trail - Magnolia Grove (Crossings course): located just outside the port city of Mobile, on Alabama's Gulf Coast, Magnolia Grove can boast two fabulous golf courses. The Crossings (which gets its name from the fact that you will twice cross over railway tracks), is another definitive, undulating, wooded parkland course, masterfully created by Robert Trent Jones Snr.
Like so many others on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, the terrain is wonderfully rolling and handsomely tree-lined, giving rise to one majestically sculpted hole after another. There is no real estate here, no roads, and no distant views, just a thoroughly natural and absorbing course that exudes quality and a good degree of challenge from start to finish.
Water is seldom a factor here, but many elevated tee positions and well-bunkered, elevated greens ensure each of the mainly wooded holes has its own special character and charm. The undulating fairways are not overly wide, lined with a good-sized band of semi-rough, which in summer can be penal. Beyond the semi-rough, are plenty of mature pines and oaks.
Before arriving at the fabulous uphill par-4 closing hole, take care on the green of the par-3 17th - with the pin in its usual position its not difficult to putt the ball off the green, across the cart path and down into a swampy mire.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

The Crossings course at Magnolia Grove is used by the LPGA Tour (see Tournaments section - by Venue).
One of the best times to visit is late-Spring when the crepe myrtles and magnolias add a dramatic splash of colour all around the course.
