Local Courses and Tee Times

Club Magnolia is not in any way sponsored by, affiliated with, or a partner of The Masters Golf Tournament, Augusta National Golf Club, or Augusta National, Inc. and the use of the words "Masters", "Masters Tournament", "Augusta National", "Green Jacket" or other ANI terms are for descriptive and informational purposes only.

In early April, golf enthusiasts nationwide get a peek at the area's blooming azaleas and southern charm. But the city, Georgia's second-oldest, has more than just early-spring blooms and a hankering for good barbecue. Augusta has a bustling downtown area dotted with artist studios, it has intriguing historic sites and a few green spots away from the golf fairways.

Palmetto Golf Course

Palmetto Golf Course

The Palmetto Golf Course, founded in 1892, has been listed by the USGA as one of the first 100 clubs established in the U.S. It was also recognized by "GOLF Magazine" in their 1995 list of "The First 100 Clubs in America." The golf course is a par 71 layout and plays at 6,713 yards from the championship tees. What the course may lack in length it more than makes up for with its small elevated and undulating greens, and clever (some say diabolical) bunkers. The signature hole is #7, a 158-yard, par 3, considered as one of the 100 most difficult holes in America. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 20th "Best in State" course for 1995-96.

Two of the most noted observations about Palmetto were made by golf legends Ben Hogan and Bobby Jones. Ben Hogan said that "holes 3, 4, and 5 were the best back-to-back par 4s that he had ever played." Hogan also said that holes 3, 5, and 13 were three of his 18 favorite holes. Bobby Jones said that "number 7 was the best medal play par 3 he ever played."

Probably the highest compliment paid to Palmetto was made by Dr. Alister MacKenzie in the May 1933 edition of the American Golfer Magazine. MacKenzie said, "The alterations at Palmetto have been such a success that the Chairman of Bobby Jones' executive committee at the Augusta National writes me saying, 'We have only one serious complaint to make against you regarding the Augusta National. That layout you designed at Aiken is liked so well that the Aiken colony does not seem to be the least bit interested in coming over to the Augusta National'."

Jack Nicklaus' Great Waters course offers one of the most stunning finishes in the game with a back nine skirting the lake on nearly every hole. Tom Fazio's 27-hole National course makes perfect use of the land as it gracefully winds along rolling terrain. The remarkable resort experience at The Oconee provides a stunning sequence of finishing holes in typical Rees Jones fashion.

The Augusta Museum of History

Early in 1996 the 60-year-old "municipal attic" moved into a new 48,000-square-foot home at Sixth and Reynolds streets. The 23 permanent galleries are filled with Revolutionary and Civil War weapons and uniforms, Native American culture, natural history (including a major dinosaur exhibit), space exploration, communications, vintage photographs and a tribute to the city's and Georgia's founding father, Gen.

Sacred Heart Cultural Center

Located on 1301 Greene Street, (706) 826-4700, Sacred Heart Cultural Center is a heartening and spectacular example of a cherished piece of architectural heritage, down on its luck, given a new lease on life. Consecrated in 1901, the redbrick, twin-spired Romanesque Catholic church summed up the highest skills of European artists. Jewel-like tones of German stained-glass windows play against the creamy white Italian marble columns, stations of the cross and the ornate high altar. In the early 1970s, with much of its congregation now in the suburbs, Sacred Heart's doors were closed and the church deconsecrated and left to the mercy of the elements and vandals.
