Pines Crossing
Originally established in the 70s, Pines Crossing Golf Course closed in early 2023 for a full redesign and renovations. The new layout reflects a tie between old and new and the course location on the line between Auburn and Opelika. The redesigned 18-hole public golf course is a par 72 course measuring 7,031 yards and offers a variety of tees for all skill levels. Pines Crossing’s new design included an upgrade to TifEagle Bermuda greens and TifTuf Bermuda fairways. This new grass is more resilient to foot traffic, uses less water, stays green, and stays healthy in the shade, leaving players with healthy turf year-round.
