KAY IVEY, GOVERNOR, STATE OF ALABAMA

As Governor of the great state of Alabama, it is my honor to welcome

you to our sweet home, and to our pride and joy, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The Trail encompasses 11 locations that proudly offer 26 spectacular courses. From north to south, east to west, you can quickly and easily access the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.

Before, after, or in-between your rounds of golf, I encourage you to visit the towns and cities near your destination. From large metropolitan areas with access to great shopping, to small towns with charming main streets filled with delightful restaurants, I hope you will take the time to truly discover Alabama.

Alabama has so much to offer ? from the Trail, to our history, to our people ? here you can experience stories of the past, exciting thrills of the present, and

join in dreaming of the endless possibilities of the future. Whether you are teeing off, touring the NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center, visiting historic Dexter-King Memorial Baptist Church, or walking along our beaches, we are honored to have you here. I know you will soon discover why Alabama really is our sweet home.

Welcome to Alabama; we are honored to have you here!
