For the first time, GOLF's ranking on the best public-access courses ventured outside the United States into Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean. It’s nothing but the highest-quality courses from start to finish.
GOLF rated the Links course at RTJ Grand National in Opelika as the #78 best public course in North America and the best in the state of Alabama.
A nitpicker might point out that “links” is a misnomer, and they’d be right. It’s the wrong term for a course that features sylvan fairways and carries over marshes to soft, receptive greens. But never mind the monikers. The conditioning is pure, the vistas are sublime and the course, the strongest layout on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, is a delightful, varied test. If you time the visit right, you can follow up your round with another top-notch form of outdoor entertainment: the Auburn football stadium is nearby.
