At the northern terminus of the Trail in Huntsville is Hampton Cove, a 54-hole facility with terrain that drastically changes from one side of the property to the other. The Highlands Course, which emulates a Scottish links, is one of the gems of the Trail. Thousands of Japanese black pines, oaks, dogwoods and crepe myrtles have been planted to enhance such features as an old mule barn beside the fifth hole. Completely opposite is the River Course, the only RTJ layout without a single bunker. The River Course is laid out on former soybean fields in the flood plain of the Flint River. The River is a throwback to the way courses were built long ago - the dirt was merely pushed up to create the greens and tees, leaving all else as is. Slope = 134 / ****
