What Are The Best Golf Courses In Georgia

What are the best golf courses in Georgia? There are a lot of them here, but which ones are the best? When you think of the state of Georgia, I bet golf is one of the first things you think of. Well if you're a huge golf fan like I am, then its the first thing you think of. Lets take a look at this list from Golf Digest and see the best courses in The Peach State.

I don't even think I have to tell you what the best course in Georgia is do I? When you think of golf in Georgia, I'm pretty sure one word will say it all, Augusta! Augusta National Golf Club comes in at number one. It has always been number one and will always be number one. Augusta's greatness is what makes people so excited to visit once a year every April.

People always think Augusta when they think of golf in Georgia, however Atlanta isn't far behind. Peachtree Golf Club and East Lake Golf Club, both located in Atlanta made the top five on Golf Digest's list. They came in at number two and number five respectively. The cool thing is that Augusta National wasn't the only local course to make it to the top of the list.

Champions Retreat in Evans and Augusta Country Club also made Golf Digest's list. Champions came in at number 10 and ACC came in at number 11.

What are my favorite Augusta golf courses to play? I get asked that a bunch, so I decided to make a list of them. I don't think I have to tell you that we live in a golf town. There are so many great options for golf here. I've been fortunate enough to play a lot of courses around here over the years and these would be my favorites.

I started really playing golf more seriously in 2018. There's not a course around here that I'll ever say no to playing. If I get to be outside and enjoy some golf and some cold beverages, then I'm all in. Of course not all of these courses are in Augusta, but they're close so I'm lumping them all together.

This list is based on the conditions of the course. Also on the atmosphere and just the overall experience. If you want more info on some of these courses, and to read some more reviews on them, just click here

Most of these are public courses that anyone can play. A couple of them are private and you have to know someone to get on. These are my favorite Augusta golf courses to play, and they're in no particular order.

I've been playing out at Bartram a lot lately, and I love it. The course is always fun and really challenging. Of course the restaurant Tavern On The Trail is great too! I love the atmosphere over at Bartram, and it helps that its less than 10 minutes from my house.

This was the first course I played when I first started playing seriously back in 2018. There's a lot of history at Forest Hills. I love playing that course. When we were in the heart of Covid, and golf was about all there was to do, we would play out there at least once a week. Forest Hills is were I got my first birdie.

Its not in Augusta, its in North Augusta, which is close enough so I'm including it. Mount Vintage is another course I've played a bunch and its another one thats really challenging, but really fun. They have 3 nine hole courses, so theres some good variety out there.

This one is also in North Augusta, but I love playing it, so I'm including it. I played The River a bunch my first year playing golf and its a beautiful course. The scenery is great and so is the atmosphere.

This one is right up I-20 in Thomson. I've played it a bunch over the years as well. My favorite hole on Belle Meade is number 11, the downhill Par 3. As long as no one was behind us, we'd always hit multiple shots on that hole trying to get a hole in one.

This one isn't open to the public, so you've got to know someone in order to get on. But if you ever get the chance to play it, don't pass it up. The atmosphere, the food, the course, its all awesome!

I can't say much about it, but it happened, and its one of the best days of my life!
