About Augusta Country Club
Augusta Country Club is a private 18-hole, par 72 course in Augusta, Georgia, and the direct neighbour of Augusta National Golf Club. The two properties share a boundary. The ground is hilly, with sidehill lies on several holes. Donald Ross is the architect behind the course.
- Bobby Jones won the 1930 Southeastern Open at the club.
- The Titleholders Championship, a women's major, was held here.
- Brian Silva restored the course in the early 2000s, working from Ross's original notes and sketches.
- The club once ran two courses, the Hill and the Lake. Only the Hill Course remains.
History of Augusta Country Club
The club traces its roots to the late 1890s as Bon Air Golf Club, and it counts 1899 as its founding year. Donald Ross revamped the course in 1927.
