New to the forum, long time lurker.  A buddy happened into 4 tickets to a practice round at the Masters, so we have started planning a trip, to play a few rounds ourselves, then go watch the Tuesday practice round.  I am looking for suggestions on courses to play and stay within a few hours of Atlanta/Augusta.  One friend going on the trip has played at Kingwood Country Club in Clayton, GA before, but it was years ago.  This place could work, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

There are a ton of great courses within an hour of ANGC, and all manage their maintenance to peak around the Masters. Unfortunately, they jack the rates way up around the Masters. River golf club. Jones creek. Forest hills. Mount Vintage Plantation. I've played all of these, and they're all good layouts and fun courses. All are within 30 mins of ANGC. Many others in the Atl-Aug-Ath triangle. Just pick a few and book early, and expect to pay $150+ for a course that charges $50 50 weeks out of the year.

Thanks for the info.  I was worried about the price hike, but that is still doable.  I'll just have to save a little extra money for the merch at the Masters.  I hear you can spend a small fortune on that stuff pretty quickly.  I hear it isn't super expensive, but for my first time, I imagine I'm gonna want a little of everything.

You won't get gouged for anything inside the gates at ANGC--the Masters is known for charging very reasonable prices for everything from sandwiches to shirts.  You will get gouged for everything outside the gates--triple to quadruple the normal rates for area hotels, golf courses, etc.

BTW welcome, thanks for posting, and make sure you keep us updated on how the trip goes!

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
