Travel tips for golfers visiting Alabama

• Best time to visit: March to May and September to November offer the most comfortable playing conditions, with warm temperatures, manageable humidity and excellent course quality. Summer provides strong value but expect higher heat, particularly in July and August.
• Top tip: Many courses along the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail are long, championship-style layouts with generous fairways and large greens. Smart course management is key — especially on exposed holes where wind can influence club selection.
• Travel time: Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is the most convenient gateway for central Trail locations such as Ross Bridge and Capitol Hill. Atlanta (just over two hours from parts of eastern Alabama) can also be a useful entry point depending on your itinerary.
• Transport: Car rental is strongly recommended. While the RTJ Trail sites are well designed for touring golfers, they are spread across different regions of the state, so grouping courses geographically will help minimise drive times.
• Booking tip: Spring is peak golf season in Alabama, particularly March and April. If you’re planning to visit popular RTJ Trail locations, booking several months in advance ensures better tee time selection and preferred accommodation options.
