Golf Trip in Birmingham, AL

A group of us life long friends are looking to get together for the first time in about 6 years for a golf trip. Looking at Labor Day weekend in Birmingham on the Robert Trent Jones courses. It's the most centrally located location for us being we are spread out among Texas, Arkansas, and Georgia.
Any suggestions on the actual courses we should book?
TIA

If you don't make the ~1 hour drive down to Sylacauga to play FarmLinks you will regret it. Best public course in the state in my opinion.

Other than Shoal Creek, Ross Bridge is about as good as it gets in the state. Awesome track and RTJ does it right. Nice staff, awesome pro shops, etc.

I rarely see it mentioned when B'ham courses are brought up on here, but I have enjoyed playing Highland Park in the past. It's practically in downtown so there are a lot of cool views of the city. The hole layouts are quirky as well, got some long par 5's followed by a few par 3's barely over a hundred yards. I can't speak to it's current condition as it's been a few years since I got out there last, but I really enjoyed it. It's not RTJ league but it's worth looking into one day.

If you're going to compare Ross Bridge to other top country clubs in the state, it's not close to places like CCB and Old Overton

A friend of mine just played Cambrian Ridge, and he said it was the nuts.

Grand National is fine as well

Appreciate the feedback. I will look into these courses this weekend planning it all.

I've played there, but I don't remember much.

You can easily do all RTJ courses in two full days including the Par 3 course which is really cool. 4 courses total.
Besides those, I have only played the Highland Park course and it is always in good shape. It is the oldest course in Alabama or something like that. I wouldn't travel all that way to play Highland Park though.

I played Farmlinks the last 2 days, unbelievable great course! I would put their par 3’s collectively against anywhere! It’s a fun track!!

Depending on where in Georgia your friend is, Dancing Rabbit courses or Old Waverly/Mossy Oak could be an option for your group also.

Was just out at Ballantrae in Pelham and it was in terrific shape!

I'd take out OV. If you're willing to drive to farmlinks... I would make the trip down to RTJ Capitol Hill and play one of those instead of Oxmoor Valley.

I highly recommend Limestone Springs. One of my favorite courses.

Is Ross Bridge worth the trip? I'm looking at Farmlinks then either Ross or Cambrian Ridge. I considered Grand National but they are plugging the week before our trip.

Sherling was a great track. First 2 holes, I was saying "what's all the fuss about" then I got to #3 and said "ok, this is why".

Absolutely. Best public course in the area.

Farm links is great....they don’t serve alcohol, or at least they didn’t last time I played it, just FYI.
