Golf in Opelika

Opelika is the county seat of Lee County and the paired city to Auburn in the Auburn-Opelika metropolitan area, a community that has served as a manufacturing and commercial center alongside the university city's educational and research economy. The city's identity includes the RTJ Grand National Golf facility—one of the most celebrated stops on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail—which has helped establish the Auburn-Opelika area as a major destination for golf travel in the southeastern United States. The metropolitan area's dual economic character, combining manufacturing, technology, and university-related industries, creates a diverse residential market for recreational amenities.
