How Much Beer Do We Drink While Golfing In The CSRA

Author Dub

So how much beer do we actually drink while golfing in the CSRA? Apparently a study has been done, and we have an answer! As someone who has been playing golf for a few years now, I can confirm that a few cold beers make the round better. What’s better than riding around on a golf cart, hitting some good and bad golf shots and enjoying a cold beer? I’m gonna say not much!

The folks at Pickswise.com did this study. They found how many beers golfers enjoy on average per 18 holes. I’m anxious to see where Georgia and South Carolina fall on the list. Do we drink a lot of beers here in the CSRA, or are there other states that go harder than we do on the golf course? Lets dig in and find out.

I can tell you that neither Georgia nor South Carolina are the number one state on this list. I guess thats a good thing? So what state tops the list? Florida! They average 4.8 beers during an 18 hole round. What about some of our neighboring states? How many beers do they consume on the golf course? Lets take a look.

  • North Carolina drinks about 4.3 beers per 18 hole round
  • Alabama drinks around 4.1 beers per 18 hole round
  • Tennessee drinks about 3.7 beers per 18 hole round

Here’s whats crazy, Georgia and South Carolina are underneath all of these other states! In Georgia we consume around 3.5 beers per 18 hole round. South Carolina drinks just a tad more than Georgia. In South Carolina, they drink 3.6 beers per 18 hole round. Maybe while we’re golfing in the CSRA, we take things a little more seriously? Who knows.

Dub's Favorite Augusta Golf Courses To Play

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.

  • Bartram Trail

    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.

  • Forest Hills

    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.

  • Mount Vintage

    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.

  • The River Golf Club

    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.

  • Belle Meade

    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.

  • Champions Retreat

    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!

  • Augusta National Golf Club

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