Champions Retreat, sculpted into the rolling landscape outside Augusta, is defined by its unique tri-signature design, a rare collaborative effort by legends Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player each lending their distinctive vision to nine holes. The Bluff nine, the work of Gary Player, traces the high ground of the property, demanding strategic play and rewarding precision over raw power. Player, known for his fitness, favored a more undulating terrain with many blind shots, favoring faders and those with creativity in their approach. Opened in 2005, Champions Retreat has quickly established itself as a challenging test of golf. The club hosted the prestigious Augusta National Women's Amateur from 2019-2021 and continues to welcome top amateur players from across the globe. The course is not among the nationally recognized top 100, but is known to many in the region as a serious test of golf. Beyond the challenging layout, Champions Retreat cultivates a tight-knit membership rooted in a genuine love for the game. A standing tradition is the annual member-guest, an event known for its competitive spirit and the coveted champion's dinner, featuring classic Southern cuisine. Legends of the amateur game have visited and enjoyed the spoils after their rounds.
