Golf in Auburn

Auburn is a Lee County city that has grown dramatically around Auburn University, the major land-grant university that has transformed this east Alabama community from a small agricultural town into a sophisticated metropolitan center. The university's engineering, agriculture, and business programs have attracted significant technology and manufacturing investment to the Auburn-Opelika metropolitan area, and the city's cultural and recreational sophistication reflects both the university's influence and the economic development it has catalyzed. The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Grand National facility in nearby Opelika and the multiple golf options in Auburn proper reflect the recreational expectations of a college community with national connections and above-average professional aspirations.
