#InBirmingham

To be in Birmingham is to be in the arms of the South. It’s to be in a place that is as modern and contemporary as it is classically southern. The city played a prominent role in America’s Civil Rights Movement. A visit to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute gives an in-depth look at that important era. Today, Birmingham is a place that’s brimming with entertainment, the arts, outdoor recreation and world-class cuisine. Serving delicious barbecue and fried pies, the city is also home to James Beard Foundation Award winners and nominees. Alabama’s largest city is home to two RTJ Golf Trail sites and the state’s most luxurious golf resort at Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa, plus the Barber Vintage Motor Sports Museum, over 10 craft breweries and exciting nightlife options that only a city this size can offer.

#iHeartHsv

Huntsville is a great place to start your Alabama golf journey, as the first northern location of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Hampton Cove. Situated in the Tennessee Valley with mountain views, it’s often referred to as ‘the Rocket City’ for its role in America’s space exploration program and home to the Earth’s largest space museum at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. A day of golfing can take a lot out of you, so downtime to kick back and relax is a must. After the rounds are over, check out Campus No. 805, a repurposed school building turned brewing and mixeduse entertainment complex, billed as the “coolest middle school in the country.” Lodging options range from convenient hotels near the golf course to new, upscale accommodations in the new downtown.
