Short at Oxmoor Valley Golf Course

Recently booked the RTJ Golf Trail at Oxmoor Valley as part of a 2 week trip thru Alabama. We played Magnolia Grove , Lakewood Golf Course, Capitol Hill, Ross Bridge and Oxmoor Valley. The golf courses are awesome and we loved playing everyone. Customer service is great except for Oxmoor Valley. Not sure why but we had paid for unlimited range balls and had no problem until we got to Oxford Valley. They told us we were only permitted a medium bucket. Then later in the round the cart person would not honor our RTJ gift card that we bought from them. And unfortunately no one seemed to care about either issue. Maybe they were having a bad day, who knows. We will definitely come back but hope things are better next time. No excuse for poor customer service.

We were only able to play the back 9 due to time. The holes we played were very nice and challenging. Staff friendly and nice clubhouse. Highly recommend.

This is the first course I've played on the RTJ Trail. Very nice course. Greens, fairways and tee boxes in great shape. Great clubhouse and amenitities. Great destination course. Highly recommend.

Playing the Ridge course felt like an appropriate introduction to the RTJ Trail. From the very first hole - a significant drop down to the fairway and then an approach up a wall of sod to the green - it's a pretty thorough test of the golfer's ability to hit high, soft-landing approach shots. I love the par-5 3rd hole with its green tucked between limestone ledges; it's one of the best holes on the entire Trail.

I played this course with a friend on 11/12/22. All the greens are huge and very undulating, but they rolled very true and fast. The course was in excellent shape, from the tees, fairways, and bunkers. The course has plenty of doglegs. The entire staff was very friendly accommodating and professional with an excellent practice facility. I have played the Ridge Course twice before and this is the first time playing the Valley Course. The Valley Course is not flat, but does not have the dramatic elevation changes as the Ridge Course does. The Valley Course is very fair from the correct tees. My favorite holes on this course would be #1, 13, 14 and 18. The 13th hole is straight forward par three but is visually appealing. Everything is rectangle shaped, from the tees, green and bunkers. There is a visual illusion of the green. What seems to be a ridge on the green is actually a four-foot valley running through the green. Having now played both the Ridge and Valley Courses, I would lean towards playing the Valley again, but would also have no problem playing the Ridge Course. The Back Yard par three course just opened up when we were there. It’s walking only. We were not going to carry our cart bags. Hopefully the course will get some “Sunday” golf bags to rent. The course looked nice.

If you aren't familiar with the course i will go ahead and tell you it is and never was a $100 course.

Green fees were in the $50-$60 range for as long as i can remember and the value was fantastic. At $70-$80, your at the value limit. With the current rates, i strongly advice you to go elsewhere. Both courses (Ridge and Valley) are enjoyable. Neither of them nor the facility or staff are anything more than average. This is one of my locals and it pains me to steer people away but after realizing the updated pricing I can give you 5 other courses within 30 min that will hold its own for half this price.

Me a a friend played on a weekday. Greens, fairways, etc.,

were real nice. Sad that it took 4 hours and 45 minutes, however. Unless you're a flatbelly and in real good shape, it would be a tough course to walk.

Played a threesome. Fine course, greens a little hard, but still rolled well. Been playing 58 years of golf and it was the slowest round (5 hours, 5 minutes) ever. Marshall showed up after we called the pro shop, but too late to help. Expect a long, long round, if you play.

I played the Ridge Course at Oxmoor valley with a friend on 11/19/21. We played this course last year and I can say it is still tough. This course has a lot of elevation changes, and you rarely see another hole. The greens are very firm, but putt true. My only complaint is the people in front of us playing the wrong sets of tees and it took us five plus hours to play eighteen holes. I normally play around 6300 yards or so. This year I played the white tees. Last year I played the orange tees, and it was a bit much considering the elevation changes. The groups in front of them were nowhere to be seen. It is a beautiful course. I hope to play the Valley Course next year.

Before playing the Ridge course, we played the 18 Hole Short Course (Par 3 course). This course offers four sets of tees with elevation changes. The greens were firm and have sand traps guarding the greens. A couple of the greens had a little damage to them, but it did not deter us from having a good time. This course was a blast to play.

The Ridge course is in great shape. Greens are considerably slower than expected at a RTJ site. The rough is thick enough to be penalizing for errant shots. The only complaint is that we started on the back 9 due to maintenance; however, we had mowers and blowers on holes 11-15 blowing up dust and grass. The grounds crew was indifferent to us putting on the greens and the blowers had total disregard to us on the tee boxes and fairways as they criss-crossed to what one would think would be an empty course. Once we got away from the grounds crew, the rest of the day was enjoyable and pace of play was excellent as we only saw a couple other groups.

I played the Ridge Course at Oxmoor Valley with a friend on 11/02/20. This course is amazing! The views are incredible. The entire staff was very friendly, from the bar, to the pro shop, to the starters, to the cart staff. They made you feel very welcomed. This course has extreme elevation changes and you rarely see another hole except for the one that you are playing. The course offers 5 sets of tees and plays long. You should take one more club than you normally would hit. The greens were firm and fast. I wish they had a yardage book, since this was our first time playing the course. Otherwise I would love to play this one again.

After playing the Ridge course, we played the 18 Hole Short Course (Par 3’s). This is not your run of the mill par 3 course. This course offers 4 sets of tees with elevation changes. Any one of these holes could be used on the Ridge course. The greens were firm and fast and have sand traps. This course is no pushover and was a blast to play.

Beautiful setting for a course. The elevated greens make for a challenge. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape.

Atv damage to 9 green. Course and sand traps in good shape. Glad I used Golf Now deal. Not worth $100. I've played courses for $30 just as good as RTJ. Sad their prices are so high.

played an afternoon round but we were not able to finish. like much of the south a lot of rain made the course unplayable. i am not adverse to cart path only but the course was muddy/mucky everywhere except the greens. getting to every shot required slogging thru mud. course should have re-booked us knowing the course condition. our group played the Ridge,Timberline and ross bridge courses on our outing and we did not have the muck/mud that we encountered here. wonderful layout atrocious condition

First time playing the Valley course, and it was our first of two rounds for the day. The first tee box view is picturesque and began an enjoyable round. I won't list all the positives except to say I will definitely be returning to play again. There were two fairly significant negatives to our round. First, we played the 7:40am tee time and didn't come to a swept green until 14; I would have thought logically the crew would clear the dew from #1 and work their way through. Second, the fringes were being reseeded; this wasn't noted on the maintenance schedule, and although it minimally affected play it was still a bother considering we drove 3.5 hours to play the site. However, those issues aside, I will be looking forward to my next opportunity to play the course. We did note several of the fairways had what first appeared to be mole destruction but we then thought it could be deer pawing about. Regardless, it must be a nightmare for the grounds crew to deal with.

we played both the valley and ridge course. it was our first time playing both the ridge course is more picturesque and has more elevation changes. that made the course harder to select the right yardage, even with a sloped range finder. the ridge had mostly elevated greens so you had better land it on or back as anything below the hole had a sever penalty of rolling off the green and down a steep embankment. the starter on both days was very friendly and gave us great course management advice. one gentleman in the pro shop was great as well. the bad was Cheryl in the pro shop. she was not really friendly and acted like we were doing her a favor by playing there. i would not have put her in a customer facing position. the food at the turn was good and reasonably priced (sandwich and drink for $8. Pro shop had a good variety of merchandise and was reasonably priced.

the valley course was good as well, and more of a traditional layout. Greens on both courses were in good shape and rolled true/consistent. cart concessions came through frequently and was friendly.

i would play both courses again despite the person in the pro shop.

Fun round. Excellent staff as always. Greens played well.

This was my first time playing the Valley Course at Oxmoor Valley. I had a great time and really liked The Valley course.

The course layout is great and lots of fun with many unique holes to make for an interesting and never boring round of golf.

The course was in excellent condition (greens, fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, etc.)

The biggest drawback of the course are the MANY non-repaired ball and pitch marks all over the greens. I cant believe a person leaves a large ball mark (very easy to see because there were MANY on every single green) and just leaves and does nor repaid a large ball mark on the green.

I paid the twilight rate and would HIGHLY recommend this course at that price. Great value for the price with the twilight rate.

I would highly recommend The Valley course.

I’ve played both courses many times. Both are always is good condition and playable. Challenging second shots on most holes make it fun for skilled players. If you are not as skilled tee it forward
