Golf in Georgia: Complete Guide
Georgia is home to the most famous golf course on Earth: Augusta National Golf Club. But the Peach State's golf pedigree extends well beyond the Masters — Bobby Jones's home course at East Lake hosts the PGA Tour Championship, Peachtree was co-designed by Jones himself, and the rolling Piedmont and coastal islands offer diverse and distinguished golf.
Overview
Georgia golf spans from the red-clay Piedmont of metro Atlanta to the moss-draped barrier islands on the coast. East Lake's championship legacy, Atlanta Athletic Club's major-hosting history, and the storied Sea Island resort corridor anchor a state with genuine golf depth. The mild climate allows nearly year-round play, and the state's proximity to Augusta — where the Masters transforms golf each April — gives Georgia an emotional hold on the game.
