Getting there
Champions Retreat Golf Club sits just beyond the suburban sprawl of Augusta, Georgia, accessible via Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) - a straightforward forty-minute drive southeast through the gently rolling terrain of the central Georgia Piedmont - or through the larger hub of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), roughly two hours south. Private aviation finds its natural home at Augusta Regional's general aviation facilities, where the transition from tarmac to club grounds is measured in minutes rather than the typical airport shuffle. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads that slip past horse farms and wooded acreage, the landscape gradually settling into the serene, manicured grounds of Champions Retreat, where the understated elegance of the clubhouse emerges as a welcome punctuation to an unhurried arrival.
