🏘️ Auburn University Club Overview

The Auburn University Club (AU Club) is one of Auburn’s premier golf course communities, built around a private 18-hole championship course and country club. Established in 1999, the neighborhood spans multiple distinct sections within the larger Yarbrough Farms area and offers a wide range of home styles, price points, and lifestyles.  The golf course at the AU Club is the home of the National Champion Auburn University golf teams.

What makes AU Club unique compared to other Auburn neighborhoods is that it’s not just one subdivision, it’s a collection of smaller communities, such as Augusta, Clubview, Cypress Point, Parc, Sawgrass, Shadow Creek, the Villas, and Yarbrough Farms - each with its own feel, HOA structure, and housing style. That gives buyers flexibility, whether you’re looking for a lower-maintenance home, a golf course lot, or a custom estate.
