Driving in from Louisiana on Monday for the Wednesday practice round. I’m planning to stay 1–2 hours from Augusta—leaning toward Aiken, Columbia, or possibly the Atlanta side.
For those who’ve done it: when do public courses in the area typically open tee times for Masters week, and is it tough to land a time? Ideally I’d play Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, and maybe Tuesday afternoon. First trip to the Masters—not chasing bucket-list tracks, just looking for solid, reasonably priced courses to enjoy with the boys.
I’ve heard good things about Aiken Golf Club, Fort Gordon’s Eisenhower, Cherokee Run, Oconee for value and conditions. Any other courses or areas to stay within an easy drive that usually have availability that week would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
