RENAISSANCE ROSS BRIDGE GOLF RESORT AND SPA Approximately 11 miles from downtown Birmingham and home of the Champion's Tour Region's Charity Classic, Ross Bridge is the newest addition to Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Trail. Ross Bridge opened August 2005 as the third longest course in the world, designed by Robert Ruhlwich and Bobby Vaughan to be a showplace well suited as a championship venue. These 18 championship holes stretch majestically through 300 acres of rolling terrain. For meetings, Renaissance Ross features 21,000 sq. ft. of versatile indoor and outdoor venue space, the largest area able to accommodate 1,200 attendees. Sixteen meeting rooms feature state-of-the-art facilities and breathtak- ing golf course views. The resort's Hoover Ballroom can seat up to 900 attendees in theater format, or for a new take on ordinary meetings, plan your event on their gorgeous 12,000-sq. ft. outdoor terrace. Beautifully carved into the rolling terrain of Shannon Valley, Ross Bridge will challenge even the best golfers. The course meanders through indigenous landscape and around the 259-room Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa. Ross Bridge is one of the longest cours- es in the world but offers multiple tees for golfers of all levels. The beauty and challenge of each hole leads many to believe there is not one signature hole but possibly eighteen. Tucked among the Alabama hills and moments from the vibrant city, the hotel not only offers championship golf, but also everything from a tranquil on-site spa to terrific dining - as well as close proximity to local attractions. Gaze out at picturesque resort views from your private balcony, and enjoy luxury hotel amenities including pillow top bedding, flat-screen TVs, and marble bath- rooms.
