Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail – Hampton Cove
Only 3 miles from McMullen Cove is the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail – Hampton Cove. Built on 630 prime acres, the Hampton Cove Golf Course is surrounded by tall oak, pine and maple trees, majestic green mountains and meandering lakes and offers some of the most attractive golf scenery in Alabama. Designed by golf architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr., the 54-hole championship golf course offers options for golfers at any skill level by offering up to five separate tees per hole. All greens are to USGA specifications with Pencross Bent grass on the Highlands Course and Short Course and Tift Dwarf Bermuda on the River Course. A practice range is offered and instruction is also available. The Hampton Cove Golf Course can be reached at (256) 551-1818.
Hampton Cove is home to three RTJ courses.
Highlands Course: Nestled in a natural cove, this course offers the challenge and scenery of traditional Scottish links. In addition to the beautiful landscaping, the old mule barn by the 5th hole is one of the special features of this course.
River Course: What was once a soybean field in the flood plain of the Flint River now hosts the only course on the Robert Trent Jones Golf trails without any bunkers.
Short Course: This challenging Par 3 course can be played in a couple of hours. This unique feature is flexible to accommodate both beginner and expert golfers.
The clubhouse at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course features a specially designed pro shop, dining room, bar, & meeting rooms offering a panoramic view. The full-service restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, after-hours meals, & catering is available for special functions. The rear veranda offers a full wet bar and an outdoor grill.
