The RTJ Golf Trail is adding three new courses over the next six months, and two of them will be ~ 8100 yards. One's immediately south of Birmingham, and the other is in Muscle Shoals (or maybe right across the river in Florence... anyway, extreme NW corner of the state).
http://www.rtjgolf.com/trail/news.htm#shoalsTo give you an idea of what this might entail...
4 par 3s avg. 230 ea. plus
4 par 5s avg. 620 ea. plus
10 par 4s avg. 470 ea. equals 8100 yds.*
First time I've seen something like this at sea level (though I have played that 840-yd par 6 monstrosity at Meadows Farms). I assume these new RTJ courses are Rulewich tracks.
Play hard,

* Yes, I imagine tees will be set to match wind conditions. But I'm guessing the courses won't be pushovers at 7700 yds either.
