Just outside of Birmingham, Alabama sits the sleepy community of Ross Bridge in Hoover. In the middle of it all is the Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa.
Imagine my surprise to see a man in a kilt playing the bagpipes in the middle of Alabama, but at this Renaissance you will find many surprises.
Anyone can filter their pool through a waterfall, but how about one that is fed by a mill? This is one of the sights at the Renaissance that make this place special.
There are various pieces of non-traditional sculpture at the Renaissance, adding to the surprises to be found.
Long marble passages with mahogany lined wall help bring a cool, calming feel to the castle that is the Renaissance.
