Scenic forests, meandering creeks and sudden elevation changes are the defining features of the three Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail courses at Oxmoor Valley set among the peaks and valleys of the southern Appalachians close to Birmingham, AL.
The Ridge Course, is a land of rolling fairways, dense woodland cover and often precipitous 150-foot elevation changes. It’s a beautiful course, often spectacular and always photogenic. This land once was mining country and the green at the par 5 twelfth with its buttressed shelf of exposed shale rock is a stark reminder of its former use.
The Valley Course is a world of deep, silent lakes and for almost two miles it twists and turns as it follows the course of a narrow valley. The 18th hole, a dramatic, 441 yard par 4, nicknamed "The Assassin," more than lives up to its name as it rises to a exciting, but somewhat intimidating finish in front of Oxmoor’s signature clubhouse.
The Short Course at Oxmoor Valley is an amazing, 18-hole par-3 layout unlike any I’ve ever seen. Dramatic and often sever elevation changes means you’ll play almost every hole either uphill or downhill. The Short Course is listed by Golf Digest's Places to Play as one of the nation's Great Value courses.
