Golf Magazine included the RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National (Links Course) on its 2021 ranking of the Top 100 Courses you can Play in the USA, Canada and Caribbean.

The magazine included the following description of the course:

"A nitpicker might point out that “links” is a misnomer, and they’d be right. It’s the wrong term for a course that features sylvan fairways and carries over marshes to soft, receptive greens. But never mind the monikers. The conditioning is pure, the vistas are sublime and the course, the strongest layout on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, is a delightful, varied test. If you time the visit right, you can follow up your round with another top-notch form of outdoor entertainment: the Auburn football stadium is nearby."
