Augusta, Georgia
Augusta National Golf Club is a members-only club steeped in tradition in Augusta, Georgia. It is best played winter into spring.
There's no walk-up access here; a member or reciprocal invitation is the only way in. Green fees aren't published — invite only. The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Augusta National is invite-only, full stop. No. 4 on our list because that access is nearly impossible to come by on your own, and because nothing else looks or plays quite like it.
Winter into spring is the window. When we have access to build a trip here, we plan tightly around it — lodging, timing, and the handful of details that come with a course this exacting.
