RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National (Lake)

Overview: The Lake Course at Grand National is a public Robert Trent Jones design in Opelika, Alabama, with wide fairways, rolling ground and water integrated into the strategy. The official trail guide lists the Lake as an eighteen-hole, par-72 course, while the longest listed routing reaches 7,289 yards.

History: Grand National opened in 1992 as part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and now offers 54 holes across its three routings. The Lake Course was built around Lake Saugahatchee, giving the property a stronger water and elevation identity than a typical inland parkland course.

Did You Know? Twelve holes on the Lake Course play along or beside Lake Saugahatchee. The par-three fifteenth is especially recognizable because its green sits on an island reached by a long carry.
