Auburn Links

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Auburn Links for optimal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Auburn Links in late spring or early fall. The weather is usually perfect for golf, and the course conditions are at their absolute peak, with lush fairways and fast greens. You'll avoid the summer heat and the chill of winter, making for a truly enjoyable round.

How challenging is Auburn Links for an average golfer, and what should I look out for?

Auburn Links offers a fair test for most handicaps, but don't let its beauty fool you-it demands precision. The back nine, especially holes 14 through 16, really tightens up with some tricky doglegs and well-placed bunkers that will test your shot-making. We suggest playing smart and aiming for position, not just distance, on those holes.

What's the typical cost to play Auburn Links, and is it worth the green fee?

You can expect green fees at Auburn Links to be in the mid-range, typically around $75-100 for 18 holes with a cart, depending on the day and time. We absolutely think it's worth it; the course maintenance is consistently excellent, and the layout provides a memorable experience that feels more premium than the price suggests. Keep an eye out for twilight rates for an even better deal.

Does Auburn Links have good practice facilities, and what's the clubhouse experience like?

Yes, Auburn Links boasts a solid practice range with plenty of targets, plus a large putting green and a dedicated chipping area-everything you need to warm up properly. The clubhouse is welcoming, not overly fancy, but it has a friendly pro shop and a casual grill where you can grab a decent burger and a cold drink after your round. It's a comfortable spot to unwind.

What's unique about the course design or scenery at Auburn Links that sets it apart?

What truly sets Auburn Links apart is its clever integration with the natural rolling terrain, particularly the mature oak trees that frame many fairways, demanding thoughtful shot placement. The signature par-3 7th hole, playing over a small creek to a well-guarded green, is a real beauty and a challenge you won't soon forget. It's a classic design that respects its environment.
