Without even taking into account the amazing attractions of the Auburn and Opelika area, you could plan an entire vacation to the area around golf alone! The amazing, scenic plains set the perfect background for innumerable putting greens that will take your breath away, and challenge your flair for the game. Not to worry, the variety of courses and their assortment of features and levels of difficulty will not only foster the development of your skill, but will expose you to some of the most amazing countryside to ever come out of the game of golf.

Bring the family out for a day at Auburn Links at Mill Creek; the course Golf Digest proclaimed the ‘most fun course to play in the South East.’ And no trip to Auburn and Opelika would be complete without setting a tee time at one of three courses featured at the Famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National. Whether you opt for a game on one of the two championship courses, or a quick afternoon game on the par 54 short course, you’re in for a lifetime of memories of legendary proportions. Defy your friends to a game that will demand their best at challenging Moore’s Mill Golf Course where you can beef up your game through a session with pro Kyle Lindsey.

For those who enjoy the spectator sport of golf, keep an eye on Saugahatchee Country Club for their schedule of open-to-spectator tournaments. No matter what part of the game you’re looking to find, you’ll encounter the best of all aspects of golf in Auburn and Opelika.
