This layout is not for the faint of heart. Located in the heart of Muscle Shoals. I'm an 11 handicap, from Central Florida and this is one of the most difficult layouts that I've played. I'm also a lefty so they may have a little to do with that. Still an amazingly fun and challenging course to play. I played out of season so don't let the brown grass fool you. There was plenty of lie to hit off of and if you're off the fairway most of the second cuts were in really good shape. There is a lot of water and a lot of trees with very tight designs on the fairways. So if you're a straight hitter you're golden. All of the greens were in amazing shape, very fast. Probably around an 11 on a stimpmeter. Not a lot of flat greens so plenty of fun and challenge for the putting game. Very traditional country club amenities. Pub style food and locker room area. Overall highly recommend and I will definitely be back.

I just left the range after hitting only half my balls, the range and balls are terrible and some old man told me “don’t hit driver and don’t go get your tee,hit your irons” I swear every time I come here I have a bad experience seems like everyone is rude I don’t get that at the other courses in the area, I will not return!!

Used to be a nice municipal course to play. Now they think they are a country club, prices have increased 30% in the last year and workers will use any excuse to close the course so they can go home early. Get a trail card and play at RTJ in the shoals it’s cheaper and a better experience.

The course is in excellent shape. A tough layout with a lot of water. The greens are fast compared to other golf courses in the area which I like. I really enjoy playing here.

We had one of our family reunion gatherings here. Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! Staff was friendly, pool was sparkling along with some led lighting to accent the waterfall and other areas of the pool, changing areas & restrooms were very well maintained and stocked. Lots of lounge chairs and tables for your convenience!
