ALABAMA’S ROBERT TRENT JONES GOLF TRAIL – PUBLIC GOLF AT ITS BEST

Golf course architect Robert Trent Jones saw the group of public courses he designed in Alabama as his version of Michelangelo’s masterful artwork in the Sistine Chapel. The 26 courses are now called the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, a total of 468 holes at 11 locations across the state. The Trail’s long list of accolades includes recognition as the best value in the country as a golf destination, according to a recent Golf Digest survey, and golfers in the same survey put the Trail among the top eight in the nation for quality of golf. Golf World readers named the sites in Opelika and Prattville as the top 2 public golf sites in the country.

Funded by the Retirement Systems of Alabama, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail was built to help expand tourism, recruit industry and attract retirees, thus strengthening the state’s economy while adding to the quality of life for all Alabamians. The concept for the Trail came from Dr. David G. Bronner, who, as chief executive officer, shaped the Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) into one of the nation’s best-performing pension funds. RSA also owns the eight hotels on the RTJ Resort Collection (PCH Hotels & Resorts).

Part of Dr. Bronner’s investment philosophy hits home in its rationale for funding the Trail: “The stronger the Retirement Systems can make Alabama, the stronger the Retirement Systems of Alabama will be.” The Trail has been a strong contributor to Alabama’s economy. Since the Trail opened 27 years ago, Alabama’s tourism dollars have increased from less than $1.8 billion to more than billion $15 billion.

The Trail’s artfully designed and beautifully landscaped courses, according to The New York Times, are “some of the best public golf on earth.” The Wall Street Journal said the Trail “may be the best bargain in the country.” The Boston Globe reported, “In Alabama, a genius in course design created 18 (now 26) jewels for everyone to enjoy at one-third the rate of comparable facilities.” The Atlanta Constitution called the Trail “the finest public courses in the country.”
