The Shoals - Fighting Joe
The Shoals is a breath-taking course in northern Alabama and is a part of the now world famous Alabama Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Nestled along the Tennessee river, water plays a big part of the course's difficulty and provides a simply magnificent setting.
Fighting Joe golf course was the first of the 18 hole courses to open at The Shoals. Named after General “Fighting Joe” Wheeler, one of among the few generals to fight in both the Confederate and US Armies, Fighting Joe is also the first RTJ Trail course to break 8,000 yards, stretching 8072 from the back tees. It's a long and traditional straight-forward golf course, but don't think that in any way it is easy.
The signature 18th hole overlooking Wilson Lake on the Tennessee River will distract you with its beauty, if not its treachery.The Fighting Joe course will take your breath away. Every hole is in keeping with the natural topography along the Tennessee River, wooded, rolling and spectacular. When you play Fighting Joe, come prepared to do battle! Golf Digest ranked it as the 27th most difficult course in the nation, so pack your game.
