RTJ Golf Trail at Silver Lakes

OK, I'm on a long golf vacation across the South, and I have time to play one course in Alabama before heading home to New Jersey. I picked the RTG Silver Lakes, and I'm glad I did. Absolutely beautiful! So after checking the scorecard I see that it is the longest and hardest rated course I've ever played. So naturally I decided to play from the tips. (Please note that I realized I didn't belong there, but the course was empty so I decided to give it a go...) 7,674 yards, course rating 77.7, slope 151. My goal was to break 100, and I shot a smooth 99. Mission accomplished! And I had a blast doing it.

I love this place. It's super convenient from Atlanta and couldn't be more challenging. The 3 separate 9s each provide ridiculous shot making skills. Shooting below 80 from the orange (6700) to the black (7800) is impressive.

Course was great, but management needs to stick to 10 minute tee times.. not every five minutes. Just slammed the course with golfers to stand around at every hole. Sucks when you drive long distances to golf and the club house is only concerned about how many people they can slam on the course. It's all about money .
