The 1st ever Alabama Senior Olympic Pickleball tournament was held in Auburn, Alabama, on May 19, 2012, at the Indian Pines Golf Club tennis courts. Two months previous to the tournament, the City of Auburn, redid the worn out tennis courts at the Indian Pines Golf Club and added pickleball lines to the courts.
