The Shoals

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Tennessee Valley gem delivers championship-caliber golf through rolling Appalachian foothills where elevation changes of 200 feet create natural amphitheater settings on nearly every hole. Jones masterfully routed the layout to showcase sweeping vistas of Wheeler Lake while incorporating the region's indigenous hardwoods into strategic hazards that reward precise course management over raw power. The par-3 17th, a downhill dart over a ravine to a peninsula green, epitomizes the course's ability to blend scenic beauty with genuine shot-making demands.
