I’m planning a trip to Georgia soon and am really interested in hitting some nice golf courses while I’m there. I’ve heard great things about golfing in the state, but I want to make sure I choose the best of the best!

Here are a few things I’m looking for:

  • Quality of the Course: Well-maintained greens and fairways are a must.
  • Scenic Views: It would be great to play somewhere with beautiful landscapes.
  • Variety of Difficulty: I’d love a range of options that can challenge different skill levels.
  • Recommendations: If you’ve played any standout courses, please share your thoughts!

Are there any hidden gems among the famous ones? Also, how’s the overall experience at these courses in terms of service and amenities? Any personal stories or tips would be super helpful! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hey there! If you’re looking for nice golf courses in Georgia, I highly recommend Augusta National. It’s famous for the Masters tournament and the experience is unforgettable, but you need to be a member or have a guest invite to play.
