The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capitol Hill, Prattville, offers a rare feast of golf. Three championship courses, one the home to the LPGA’s Navistar Classic, will keep you busy for as long as you can stand it.

The Senator, a traditional Scottish-style layout with more than 150 pot-hole bunkers across its 18 holes and, even more reminiscent of Scotland, grass-covered mounds 20 to 40 feet high dominate the landscape, cleverly hiding the cart path or any other hole from the fairway. The Senator's bent-grass greens provide exceptional conditions every month of the year. The Senator is home to the LPGA's Navistar Classic.

The Legislator is a more traditional course. It meanders back and forth through the pine trees and along a bluff. Six holes are laid out in a native cypress swamp. At 7,417 yards, the Legislator is as tough as it is pretty.

The Judge skirts the 200 acre glistening backwaters of the Alabama River. The first tee sits 200 feet above the fairway overlooking the Alabama River and the skyline of Montgomery; it’s a spectacular start to the round. Fourteen of the 18 holes are bounded by water providing some of the most spectacular scenery and golf holes in the world.
