Set on rolling terrain at the edge of Talladega National Forest between Anniston and Gadsden is Silver Lakes, home to some of the most scenic golf you can find.
The Heartbreaker nine is dubbed by many as the most challenging nine on the Trail from the championship tees. Consider the eighth hole, a par 3 that plays over 200 yards across water and uphill to the green, or the 450 yard par 4 ninth with water rippling down the entire left side of the hole.
The Backbreaker nine is a photographer's dream, boasting beautiful views of the Appalachian foothills from its elevated tees.
The Mindbreaker, although a tad easier than the other two, demands shot-making at its finest.
The Short Course at Silver Lakes is arguably the most demanding collection of one-shotters on the Trail. There's water in play on seven of the holes, including a 12-foot cascade beside the sixth green
The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is the largest golf course construction project ever attempted. The New York Times calls it "...some of the best public golf on Earth."
