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!

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      My Swing (Zeph)

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
