Known by avid RTJ Trail golfers as one of the most picturesque and challenging courses on the trail, Cambrian Ridge is just 50 miles south of Capitol Hill Golf Club. The Loblolly nine, with its gently rolling fairways, cathedral-like pines, and water-fronted greens, exudes a stately, Augusta-like quality. The Canyon nine, carved from former hunting grounds where deer blinds remain nailed to the hardwood, is a thrilling stretch of target-style golf with hole #1 being a 501-yard par four that drops 200 feet from tee to fairway.

The Sherling nine may be the best nine on the entire trail. Drama takes center stage at Sherling's ninth hole which rises straight uphill past a deep ravine strewn with ochre boulders to a double green shared with the ninth on the Canyon nine.
