GOLF LESSONS Indian Pines Golf Course, located at 900 Country Club Drive, is an 18-hole public golf course located in Auburn and adjacent Opelika. In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as the “best golf city in America”. It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter. Indian Pines was originally constructed in 1946 as the Saugahatchee County Club, a nine-hole course, with the first tournament being held on July 4, 1947. The back nine holes, designed by Eddie Loos, were built in 1951. In 1976, the course was sold to the cities of Auburn and Opelika, which have operated it as a municipal course since. The course was redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006. Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and sponsored by Miller Lite. Indian Pines is the home course of the Auburn High School Tigers golf team. Golf lessons are taught by two professionals on site: Fred Holton, PGA General Manager/Professional and Jerry Bavaro, PGA Head Golf Professional. Golf lesson rates for Adults are $75/hr. or $45/half hour and rates for junior golf lessons are $65/hr. or $35/half hour. To register for golf lessons or questions, please contact (334) 821-0880.
