The Links Course at Grand National opened in 1992 alongside the Lake Course โ Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s twin championship layouts at the flagship RTJ Golf Trail site. While the Lake hugs 600-acre Saugahatchee Lake, the Links plays through rolling wooded interior terrain with the eponymous links-style fescue rough framing wider corridors. Golf Digest has consistently placed the Links in Alabama's top 10: 6th (2011-12, 2015-16), 7th (2017-18, 2019-20), 8th (2013-14, 2021-22), 12th (2023-24), and 15th (2025-26). GOLF Magazine rated it #78 Best Public Course in North America and the best in Alabama. Both Grand National courses appear on Golf Digest's Top 50 Affordable Courses and Super Value Places to Play โ an unusual combination of quality and price. Grand National itself was voted #1 public golf facility in America by Golf World readers.
