Assistant Golf Professional

Overview

Overview:  Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is a collection of 468 holes of championship golf on 11 sites across Alabama. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is managed by Sunbelt Golf Corporation.  Sunbelt’s philosophy from the very beginning was to build the finest collection of public golf courses in the world and run them as a successful business investment.

The golf complex has two 18-hole courses, Crossings and Falls, and one 18-hole par-3 course. The site is a natural wetland environment with creeks, lakes, and undisturbed marshes along with soft rolling sand hills, slash pine trees, and magnolia trees. The Crossings Course is hillier than the Falls Course, which plays out to a lake and small waterfall and back again. Golf Digest named the Short Course at Magnolia Grove as the best par-3 course in America.  The Crossings Course has hosted a number of Ladies Professional Golf Association tournaments with international TV coverage on the Golf Channel. There is a practice range that is the nearby University of South Alabama's home course, a 35,000-square-foot club house with pro shop, grill, meeting rooms, and a maintenance shed.
