Augusta Country Club Course Review

The Augusta Country Club was known as Bon Air Golf Club initially and it dates way back, to the 19th century, being built in 1899 and featuring a members only guest policy (this is a private golf club). The country club is open for business all year round and, as an interesting historic factoid, it started with a nine hole course; also, very peculiar, it featured sand browns initially instead of greens. Later on in the 20th century, Bon Air changed its name and its clothes sort to speak, becoming Augusta Country Club, as it grew and expanded its facility to eighteen holes. Thing is, this country club was always in the shadow of its famous neighbor, Augusta National, but it's worth mentioning that Augusta Country Club was here first, pre-dating the former with almost thirty years. However, the Augusta Country Club is an outstanding historic golf club, offering a very interesting golfing experience, being built with great imagination and providing you with a sens of thrill and surprise round after round, shot after shot. There's no wonder that due to its great design, the Augusta Country Club gave us big names like Charles Howell and Larry Mize.

Bottom line, Augusta Country Club is a truly magnificent place for the classic golfer, being as private as it gets and imbibed with history. The old school design features strategic/excellent bunkering and awesome greens, while the undulations will provide you with lots of fun. If you ever have the chance, give Augusta Country Club a try, you'll thank me later.
