Grand National, Auburn/Opelika
Grand National Golf Course
3000 Sunbelt Parkway
Opelika, AL 36801
The Course
The cornerstone of the complex is the Links Course,
which is without a single weakness. The par-four 18th is without a doubt
the strongest finishing hole on the Trail. The drive must carry a corner
of the Lake, while the approach is played to a shallow pedestal green
shored up by boulders.
With 12 holes hugging the shore, Grand National's Lake Course is every
bit as scenic as the Links. Not only is the quartet of par threes on the
Lake Course as good as any in the nation, the 230-yard, island
green 15th may be the single prettiest hole on the Trail.
The Short Course at Grand National is a thing of beauty,
with more than half the holes touching the lake. This 18-hole course of
one-shotters might be the finest anywhere on the planet, according to
some golf writers.
Grand National has been the host site for such notable events as the 1997
Nike Tour Championship, 1998 LPGA Tournament of Champions, and the 2000
NCAA Men's Division 1 Golf Championship.
