Golf in Auburn

Auburn is a small South Jersey community in Gloucester County's Delaware River agricultural corridor, where the flat bottomland terrain characteristic of the Delaware River plain supports both active farming and recreational golf at Beckett Country Club. Gloucester County's position in the Philadelphia metropolitan area's South Jersey orbit means the golf here serves a working suburban community rather than the resort circuit. The terrain carries heavier clay-loam soils than the Pine Barrens to the east, producing different seasonal turf conditions — firmer and faster in summer drought, more susceptible to winter frost heave. Salem County's farmland begins just a few miles to the south, reinforcing Auburn's agricultural character.
