The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is a spectacular network of 432 holes of golf on ten sites, a vast project and one of Jones’s last. Sportswriters have hailed the Trail as a Golf Mecca with some of the finest public courses in the world. Jones believed in artistic landscaping, liberal inclusion of bunkers and water hazards, and skillful placement of greens and other hazards to encourage daring play. Road Scholars will experience Jones’s vision firsthand, playing or discussing golf every day.

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Ross Bridge…The third longest golf course in the world, this 18-hole mammoth beast measures 8191 from the back tees. It wraps around the golf resort and spa and sprawls over 330 acres. And yet it remains player friendly, with yardage beginning at 5300 allowing for a fun game for all skill levels. Ten of the championship holes play along the water connected by a waterfall separating the 9th and 18th greens.

Grand National, by all reports, was the single greatest site for a golf complex Robert Trent Jones, Sr. had ever seen. Built on Lake Saugahatchee, 32 of the 54 holes drape along its filigreed shores. The cornerstone of the complex is the Links Course, which is without a single weakness. The par-four 18th might be the strongest finishing hole on the Trail. The drive must carry a corner of the lake, while the approach is played to a shallow pedestal green shored up by boulders.
