Ross Bridge, nestled in the Shannon Valley of Hoover, Alabama, is a breathtaking golf destination that captivates even the most seasoned golfers. Recognized as a top golf resort in North America by GOLF Magazine and a consistent favorite of Golf Digest editors, this course offers an unparalleled golfing experience.
A Course Designed for All Skill Levels
The course artfully winds through the natural landscape, surrounding the impressive 259-room Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. While boasting the title of the fifth-longest course globally, Ross Bridge thoughtfully provides multiple tee options, ensuring accessibility for players of all skill levels. Its design evokes the classic parkland style, with ten holes strategically placed along the shores of two expansive lakes. These lakes are connected by a dramatic 80-foot waterfall cascading between the 9th and 18th greens, further enhanced by a historic gristmill, a nod to the site’s mining past. Each hole presents a unique blend of beauty and challenge, making it difficult to single out a signature hole—arguably, all eighteen qualify.
Unforgettable Par 3s and Scenic Views
Ross Bridge, like many courses on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, is renowned for its exceptional par 3s. Significant elevation changes, combined with water hazards and natural obstacles, demand precision and strategic play. Expansive putting surfaces allow for diverse pin placements, testing the accuracy of approach shots.
From various vantage points on the course, players are treated to stunning vistas of the 9th and 18th holes, with the magnificent waterfall serving as a dramatic centerpiece. The 7th hole, a challenging par 5, traverses a ridge high above the course, offering panoramic views. The 9th hole presents a thrilling risk-reward decision off the tee: a daring shot along the water’s edge or a safer play leading to a longer approach.
Experience Ross Bridge
Whether you choose a challenging par 3, a strategic par 4, or a demanding par 5, Ross Bridge promises an unforgettable round of golf.
The course caters to every level of golfer, ensuring a memorable experience for all who visit. Come and experience the magic of Ross Bridge Golf Resort And Spa—a true golfer’s paradise.
