it "...some of the best public golf on Earth."
At
the northern terminus of the Trail in Huntsville, AL is Hampton Cove, a
54-hole facility with terrain that drastically changes from one side of
the property to the other. The Highlands Course, which
emulates a
Scottish Links, is one of the gems of the Trail. Thousands of
Japanese black pines, oaks, dogwoods, and crepe myrtles have been
planted to enhance such features as an old mule barn beside the fifth
hole.
Completely opposite is the River Course, the only Robert
Trent Jones layout without a single bunker. The enormous
black
oak behind the 18th green is reputed to be the third oldest in the
state at 250 years.
