The Links at Audubon


About this course
The Links at Audubon occupies land in Memphis that carries significant historical resonance, situated on what was once Audubon Park and near the grounds that hosted the Memphis Open on the PGA Tour from the 1960s through the early 1990s. John Stevens designed this public facility to provide accessible golf in a city with deep roots in the professional game. The course serves the municipal golf infrastructure of Memphis, offering daily-fee play in a region where golf remains popular across diverse communities. The routing works through relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Memphis area, with mature trees defining corridors and framing holes. Water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses built in this part of Tennessee where drainage and irrigation considerations shape design decisions. The layout provides a straightforward test without severe elevation change, relying on strategic bunkering and green contours to create interest and challenge for players of varying abilities. As a public facility, Audubon functions as an accessible option for Memphis-area golfers seeking affordable play. The course operates within the city's network of municipal and daily-fee facilities, contributing to the golf landscape in a metropolitan area that has hosted professional events and produced notable players over the decades. The setting reflects the parkland character common to urban courses in the Mid-South, with the layout offering a practical round of golf rather than dramatic architectural statements.
