RTJ – Birmingham
April 14, 2016 - April 17, 2016
From Original Post (Feb 10, 2016)
Thanks, Wally, for researching the Robert Trent Jones info. From reading your comments, it’s my understanding the cost to play the Birmingham courses (Ross Bridge and Oxmoor Valley) would range ~$410 – $630 (golf and stay at Hyatt), with the range depending on how many share a room.
We had a total of six gang members attend this trip!
| Name | Oxmoor – Ridge Friday 4/15/16 |
Oxmoor – Valley Saturday 4/16/16 |
Ross Bridge Sunday 4/17/16 |

RTJ trail was great. Three distinct courses. Premium placed on hitting the elevated greens! Excellent facilities. We discussed going to Hampton Cove & Muscle Shoals sometime between the end of September & early October to play both courses at each location. Muscle Shoals is only 5 1/2 hours from St Louis. If you want to go & have a preference post something on the website. Steve & I are going to check availability at the course & look for options for accommodations. This is a trip where you could go to one stop or both. Steve is going to post a group photo on the website.
One important thing I learned about the cancellation policies. If you book through the RTJ rep & NOT the course you are required to put a $100 deposit & pay in full 30 days in advance.
HOWEVER you can cancel through the RTJ group representative up to 48 prior to arrival for ANY reason and they will issue a rain check for the full amount with NO FEES that is good for 5 years AND anyone can redeem it because you are part of a group.
That is a big difference from what the course policies. Something to keep in mind for future trips…..
We are leaving at noon April 14 & playing Fri – Sun. We have 6 players co firmed (Reitz Dobberstein Sizemore Spinner Murray & Miller) Bartnett is a maybe. We can add players as long as they do not book the 4th player in our groups.
If anyone wants to jump in at the last minute let me know & I will see if there is still an opening.
Pat – The In or Out feature would be better in my opinion if you can choose out or possibly maybe. Right now I can’t tell if someone is interested unless they are in.
Just a suggestion….
I will not be able to make the April group for RTJ
Option 2 was golf Saturday Sunday & Monday. Returning Monday night.
Thanks Pat. I have tried to find the weekend that worked for the most people. It looks like April 15th works for the most guys. Still lots of details to discuss. Do we leave Thursday pm & play Friday Saturday & Sunday or leave Friday pm & play Saturday Sunday? What time do we want to play. Who does or doesn’t want 18 hole replays that must be booked in advance. Oxmoor has 18 hole par 3 we could play in lieu of another round on one of the two regulation courses there. I am available for any of the above but we need to decide what we are going to do before making a reservation to avoid cancellation fees.
