Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail (Grand National - Lake)
Auburn, AL · 0.0 mi away
The Lake Course at Grand National in Auburn, Alabama, opened in 1992 as part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. The site sits on the shore of a 600-acre lake, and many holes touch the water. Jones built the course long, with big bunkering, elevated tee shots over water and greens set on peninsulas. Several holes play directly along the shoreline, and the wind coming across the lake changes club selection on the exposed stretches. The Lake Course hosted the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship from 2015 through 2017. It is a public facility, priced as part of the state's golf trail, and shares the property with the Links and Short courses.
