Opelika, Alabama
RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National is a sprawling multi-course property in Opelika, Alabama. It is best from spring through fall.
Tee times are open to the public, though the good ones go fast. Green fees run $60–$120. The property offers on-site lodging, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Grand National is part of Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Trail, public and genuinely championship-caliber at a green fee most private clubs on this list would consider a rounding error. No. 100 on our list, and one of the best values in American golf.
Spring through fall plays best, and on-site lodging makes it easy to build a buddies' trip or a corporate outing around without overspending.
