The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at The Shoals is home to two 18-hole championship courses and lies between the Wheeler and Wilson dams on the Tennessee River. Wheeler Dam is named in honor of General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler - the only Confederate General to attain the same rank later in the United States Army.

The Fighting Joe course at The Shoals was the first Trail course to break 8,000 yards. Travel + Leisure Golf named Fighting Joe one of the top new courses in 2004. The second course, the Schoolmaster (named for President Woodrow Wilson who was responsible for getting Wilson Dam built and was also known as "The Schoolmaster" of politics), opened in the Summer of 2005.

Travel also the same ancient paths where the early Native American settlers carved out a thriving community imbued with their mystical culture. The Singing River influence their way of life just as it compelled William Christopher Handy to reproduce the sounds of our unique Southern Soul.

Stories of overcoming adversity abound throughout the Shoals, from enduring the battles of the Civil War era to the inspirational accomplishments of Helen Keller.

Today the “Shoals” area includes Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia. Florence is the largest city in Lauderdale County. The small-town flavor of our soul and the large city refinement are evident as your stroll through our charming historic districts, play 18 holes of world-class golf, reel in a trophy-size bass, or indulge yourself in our tantalizing array of southern cuisine.

Florence enjoys four distinct seasons with moderate climates. The yearly median temperature is 62° F with a 43° average for January and 85° in July. Rainfall averages fifty inches annually, and occasional snows last only for a short time.
