Augusta Trip

We stayed in McCormick, SC last year (about 45 minutes away) and played both Savannah Lakes courses. Lots of elevation change and courses were relaxed with no big upcharge for Masters week.

The year before we did Palmetto in Aiken, SC. Rates are really high, but course is awesome. Kiz will probably be at the clubhouse hanging around drinking beer. Absolutely worth it to play, as it's probably the closest to an Augusta National type course I'll ever play. Greens are unbelievably fast but roll so true. I'd play there again if I had the opportunity.

We also did East Lake in Atlanta, but it's closed for renovations this year.

We did River Golf Club and Palmetto last year. Palmetto is an incredible course I want to play again but the group I’m with this year would combine for 500 strokes.

We are playing Westlake Country Club and Aiken Golf Club this year. Heard lots of great things about AGC and it’s moderately priced for masters week ($140/pp).

FWIW, Palmetto is $400/pp, think RGC was ~$200/pp. Augusta Country Club was $900/pp so I politely declined that one.

I also found a lot of good info on Reddit on where to play. Better book soon, I’m sure tee times are running out.

I have a group of 6 that are playing Champions Retreat on Sunday. It costs 650/person. Includes golf/range/cart/breakfast/lunch and booze until 4pm plus a 50 dollar pro shop credit.
