Silver Lakes located in Glencoe, Alabama is a photographer’s dream and everything a golfer could imagine. This golf course has two beautiful courses that this tournament is held on; Heartbreaker and Mindbreaker. The Heartbreaker nine is dubbed by many as the most challenging nine on the Trail and provides three of the best finishing holes. Holes 7, 8, and 9 take you from the highest elevation on the property to the lowest. The Mindbreaker nine is aptly named as a variety of uphill and downhill approaches will have you second-guessing your shot decisions throughout the round.
