点评:Our final stop on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Highland Oaks (played Oxmoor Valley and Capitol Hill) is Highland Oaks. Located in the southeast corner of the state in Dothan, Alabama, Highland Oaks features three 9-hole championship courses of Highlands, Marshwood and Magnolia. Plus it even has a 9-hole short course. After a short warm up, we are off to play Highlands and Marshwood. With this being our third golf course on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, we are looking forward to seeing the difference in playing the courses at Highland Oaks. We think the terrain will be a bit flatter than the hills and valleys of Oxmoor Valley and Capitol Hill.
Starting on the Highland Course, the first holes are wide fairways with water coming into play on only a few holes. The course has a gentleness as we play but offers challenges, too. At Hole No. 3 a par-4 the hole plays over a large waterway with a bit of a peninsula green. Then, Hole No. 4 a par-3 it is a slight downhill to a peninsula green. On Hole No. 6 a par-3 it is an island green. So much for the flatter terrain at Highland Oaks, approaching No. 1 of Marshwood it is all uphill. In fact the fairway almost looks terraced with its rolling terrain on a hillside. There is actually a valley to carry on tee shots before starting the uphill fairway to the green. The next few holes offer challenges of bunkers protecting the greens. Then water can come into play on No. 4 and No. 5. Marshwood is famous for its “behemoth” No. 5 Hole a par-5. From the tips it stretches 701 yards. The next few holes are challenging but with no water just bunkers. Yes, another fun day of golf at Highland Oaks. Good conditions, good course and exciting golf. A great finale to our golf on Alabama’s Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.
翻译:我们在 Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Highland Oaks(玩过 Oxmoor Valley 和 Capitol Hill)的最后一站是 Highland Oaks。 Highland Oaks 位于阿拉巴马州多森州的东南角,拥有 Highlands、Marshwood 和 Magnolia 三个 9 洞锦标赛球场。此外,它甚至还有一个 9 洞短程球场。短暂的热身后,我们将前往高地和沼泽地游玩。这是我们在 Robert Trent Jones Trail 上的第三个高尔夫球场,我们期待看到在 Highland Oaks 打球的不同之处。我们认为地形会比 Oxmoor Valley 和 Capitol Hill 的丘陵和山谷更平坦。
从高地球场开始,第一个洞是宽阔的球道,只有几个洞有水。我们在球场上玩耍时很温和,但也充满挑战。在 3 号洞,一个 4 杆洞,这个洞在一个带有一点半岛果岭的大水道上打球。然后,4 号洞,一个 3 杆洞,它是一个半岛果岭的轻微下坡。 6 号洞是一个三杆洞,它是一个岛屿果岭。 Highland Oaks 的地势较为平坦,接近 Marshwood 的 1 号时,这里全是上坡路。事实上,球道在山坡上起伏的地形几乎看起来呈阶梯状。在开始上坡球道到果岭之前,实际上有一个山谷可以进行发球。接下来的几个洞对保护果岭的沙坑提出了挑战。然后水可以在 4 号和 5 号洞发挥作用。Marshwood 以其“庞然大物”5 号洞 5 杆洞而闻名。它从尖端延伸 701 码。接下来的几个洞很有挑战性,但没有水,只有沙坑。是的,在 Highland Oaks 打高尔夫球又是一个有趣的一天。良好的条件,良好的球场和令人兴奋的高尔夫。我们在阿拉巴马州的罗伯特·特伦特·琼斯高尔夫球道上打球的精彩结局。
