RTJ at Ross Bridge Hoover Reviews

The area is beautiful, the course is fabulous & no one would be sorry staying at the Renaissance Resort.

Great place. Friendly staff.l, beautiful golf course.

Beautiful hotel with great amenities! The staff are excellent. We felt safe with the precautions being taken and enjoyed our stay.

I went to a wedding there and everything that I saw was beautiful and well made. All of the workers that I saw or came in contact with was very nice and helpful.

So this is a popular course because of it being one of the longest in the world. Unfortunately this apparently has been the longest summer too. Greens were just terrible. Tore up from overuse and suffering from some disease too. Carts were More

It was relaxing and thrilling but needs more to do for non members and staff was nice.

Really nice course layout. Good condition and challenging. Pro shop, food and beverage services and food cart were solid. Unfortunately, grounds crew needs to be replaced. Lost count of how many times they interfered with our play. Stopped four times to flush the blown cut grass and dust out of my eyes when the crew rode the movers right beside me. I think they interfered eleven out of eighteen holes and none of them yielded to the players. Great track just need a new grounds crew.

What a beautiful track!!!! Played an afternoon round on 3/23/19 and course was in great condition from Tee Box to Green. Greens were slick and true. If you like a challenge, risk reward, and lots of elevation give it a try. You Will Not Be Disappointed. Great course friendly staff , Great Time!Starter Jay was a great help and very accommodating. He definitely needs a raise!!

We played 5 courses near Birmingham recently and this was my favorite. Huge fairways, unique holes and many challenging tee shots over water. Greens were soft and tee boxes were well maintained. Marshals were attentive and kept pace of play up without hounding or watching over you (one even gave us cold towels).

Staff is super and will even ship your clubs (via Shipsticks) if you don t feel like hauling them home.

Tip: take a change of clothes and shower in the locker room (2 clean and large stalls available). It s much better than sitting in sweaty gear after your round.

Super nice golf course friendly staff and great greens. The putting green is under reconstruction.

Fantastic place for a round of golf. The people were friendly and the course was in good shape. The fairways are wide and the cart path can be a long distance from the tee box.

I recommend not playing if it is cart path only.

We had a chance to take a long weekend and return again to our favorite Birmingham Resort Hotel to go through the mountains for leaf gazing. The staff greeted us with such warmth and friendliness - this is the South after all. Everyone was carefully masked, distanced and sanitizing gel everywhere. We had a suite this time, and my goodness it was so delightfully large and comfortable. The management has thought of everything. They had plenty of water and coffee service for us when we arrived, and our room was as immaculate as I ve ever seen a hotel room. Our stay included exemplary spa service with Whitley...I d drive five hours to get there just for the spa experience. The food is always exceptional and service is always friendly. If you love relaxing by the pool, you won t be disappointed, and cabana attendants are practically psychic. I am already think forward to spring, when azaleas are in bloom and I can take my next trip to The RTJ Renaissance.

Not only have I played here, but I've worked here as well! I can tell you with our a doubt, Ross Bridge/RTJ Golf Trail is by far an awesome day out for your golfing needs and a fabulous evening out for a fancy dinner in Brock's or a laid back supper in the Clubhouse. The food is phenomenal and the staff is wonderful! As an added note, they have a spa, massage services, nail salon, hair stylist as well as gift shops. Really, if you're needing to get out of the house for a fun little getaway, definitely consider Ross Bridge!! It's a mini vacay great for the whole family!

Great Couse and can be played buy people at different levels. Many tee boxes and plenty of challenges for good golfers. Condition of Couse was great. Tees and views were were great and great practice area. We did not have Time to eat or drink anything, but people were very nice and friendly. My only reason I did not give 5 stars was the greens were slow for me.

Great course extremely friendly staff. I hope to be back soon

Absolutley astonishing. Closest course to Augusta National you will play. My favorite of all the RTJ courses.

Fun and challenging course to play. Bring your own water. Paid $4/ bottle from the clubhouse.

Beautiful elegant had a awesome time the staff was friendly the pool area was beautiful celebrating Fathers Day with my sweetheart everything nice and clean we will definitely be back

Very good condition, beautiful scenery. Enjoyed the challenge.

By far and above one of the best and most beautiful golf courses I've ever played and been to. Great service everybody needs to play this course at least once. The food is not too bad either was actually pretty good.

Nice place to relax. The food & drinks are amazing. I love the balcony!

Staff was incredible and extremely accommodating upon arrival. Course was so wet, I was surprised they let us on. Greens were damaged from all the divots and play, but understand courses need to make money. They did not give players sand to replace divots (not in the cart or anywhere on the fairway except for the tee boxes, which I am assuming was half the issue. Very tough course with tons of challenging holes with elevation. I would love to come back and play again in the near future.

This was on the bucket list and did not disappoint. Looking forward to trying other courses on the trail.

Ross Bridge rated 5-1/2 stars: The latest addition to Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is arguably the best. A big dimension course in which an outstanding and visually impressive layout combines with beautiful lakeside and woodland scenery. Without doubt, this is golf with wow factor stamped all over it.

Great course, greens and fairways in excellent shape, and we enjoyed ourselves in spite the rudeness that we experienced from Chip in the pro shop. As two women golfing alone, rudeness to the point of being uncomfortable made us feel as if there was a bias against single women golfing. The evening before the pro shop told us that the course was wide open in the morning so to feel free to ask if we could get off earlier - if we wanted to. We did in fact wake up early and came to the pro shop where sadly chip was working rather than the staff from before. Chip informed us that there were no openings on the course for at least an hour unless we could go off in 5 minutes - with a look of you won t really do that, We took that offer and managed to be at the starter on time. The course was almost empty and during our 3 hour and 40 minute round, we never encountered any other players. Afterwards when we left, we told the staff how lovely everything was except for the cold reception upon checking in. The gentlemen then said Oh so that s why Chip was screaming over the radios to all the staff to stop telling people they could go off early. Chip is not an asset to this lovely course nor his obvious bias toward women golfers.

Played this course yesterday! Magnificent golf course with picturesque holes. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Very nervous about negative reviews, but they proved to be wrong. The Marshall did tell me that greens were in trouble last summer and fall but superintendent, who worked incredibly hard, did an awesome job of getting them back. We will definitely be returning next month to play this fabulous course. The Hotel experience was wonderful, also.

This course is excellent and probably my second favorite on the trail. The size of this course is wild. It feels huge and has trouble everywhere. The course was in immaculate condition and I love the greens, they were smooth. I highly recommend this course if you are in the area.

I hope you get a chance to play this beautiful golf course.

Been there before and had a better time then. I understand with COVID things change but not having a hot tub was unfortunate. Our room stayed warm throughout the night and some random person was 'confused' and tried to come into our room at 230 in the morning waking my husband and I both from sleep. Also I had asked for a pool view but instead got to look at the parking lot with a big cherry picker in it. For the amount of money paid for this place it definitely underperformed.

I love going to this place the scenery is e everything as well as the staff and management.

Long challenging course in great shape despite the heat.

Employees were very professional and the food was very good. Rooms were very clean will visit again

Beautiful and difficult course. My only complaint was how the cart limits were 100 yards from the green and no carts on par 3s. Be prepared for a 5 1/2 hour round

Ate in the clubhouse. Delicious food and wonderful service!!

Nice course, if you can take carts off the cart paths, if not you turn a 4hr round into a 5 1/2 hrs. Plus all that up and down walking from path to tees to path to fairway to path to green, some more than 100yrds away.

Great long course. Great service, quick greens. Beautiful setting.

Super slow pace of play with no help from marshals. We ended with 5 open holes ahead of the foursome in front of us when we quit and went to the club house. We did not return for the second planned day.

I really enjoyed my stay you much check it out. The view was wonderful. I go it for the whole weekend for my 30th Birthday.

Great everything !!! Always enjoy the Ross Bridge experience. Decorated eloquently for Christmas...

Incredible relaxed atmosphere with the greatest host i've ever had the opportunity to be in the company of

Beautiful, well maintained course which was a fair test.
