Golf’s Beloved & Beautiful Badlands of Birmingham One of the must-play venues on Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail (RTJ), is the Ridge Course at Oxmoor Valley, just outside Birmingham. It will provide a fair and thorough examination of your entire golf game and physical fitness. The Ridge was designed based on what Mother Nature provided and not what Mankind and a bulldozer desired. As the name of the course indicates, The Ridge offers elevation changes on nearly every hole, which many people are surprised to find in central Alabama. By Mike May Another feature, which adds to its allure, is the distance from the cart paths to each putting surface. These short ‘hikes,’ to the greens are often uphill, and are one of the appealing aspects of the course. Being physically fit pays off at the Ridge. “The Ridge course is, by far, the more popular layout here at Oxmoor Valley,” says Robert Whitt, the head professional at Oxmoor Valley. “The rolling terrain, large bent grass greens and scenic vistas certainly lend themselves to an incredible experience. It is truly a special course that many request on their return visit.” Indiana Golf Journal
