Alabama sizzles in hot list of golf vacation resorts

Fairway shouts of “Fore!”always come decibels higher in Alabama. And all for the right reasons as the state remains as a sizzler in any hot list of US golf vacation resorts.

Ask any of the professional golfers who troop to Alabama year in and year out. All will agree that when the Great Creator conceived Alabama, golf was first and foremost in mind as geography, weather and life forms were woven in the grand design.

The Robert Trent Jones Trail is one golf destination in Alabama to have carved out its courses from this masterful template. To underscore the vast richness of such a generous mold, no less than 432 golf holes were created in the greens and fairways of Robert Trent Jones. This trail takes the visiting golfer to the splendor of waterways, lakes and gallant stands of hardwoods and pine trees interspersed with the greenest of grasses. All combine as a source of wonderment mightily spread across 10 different locales spanning the entire stretch of Alabama.

Such a vast golfing resource has prompted much fortune to be staked in the numerous pro tournaments staged along the Trail. But whether it’s a touring pro or a simple Sunday golfer, Alabama equally offers that Southern hospitality so warmly expressed in the services and amenities available in its golf vacation resorts and hotels, be it in the southern gulf coast of the state or at its northwest corner. So at the next itch of the golf bug or when watching pro golf on TV just isn’t good enough, why not make it Alabama?
