Links terrain at Auburn means wide fairways, firm turf, and wind that earns its place in every scorecard calculation
Links terrain at Auburn means wide fairways, firm turf, and wind that earns its place in every scorecard calculation. The Tournament tees stretch past 7,145 yards with a slope of 141, but most walkers will find the middle tees play honest and fair. Walking is the native mode here. Cart paths interrupt the rhythm that links golf depends on. The fifth hole carries the number one handicap, a par four that demands respect from any tee. Pace of play can stretch on busy days. Worth planning for an early tee time if you're walking.
