Champions Retreat, carved into the rolling hills just outside Augusta, boasts a unique trifecta: three distinct nine-hole courses, each designed by legends of the game. The Creek and Bluff nines present a compelling contrast, demanding strategic play amidst the Georgia pines and along the Little River. Palmer's Creek nine meanders through lower-lying areas, with water hazards aplenty demanding accuracy and offering risk-reward scenarios for those daring enough to challenge them. Nicklaus' Bluff course, perched higher, features dramatic elevation changes and wide fairways that seem inviting until the strategically placed bunkers come into play. While power is rewarded on the Bluff, the undulating greens demand a deft touch. Champions Retreat has hosted the prestigious Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship since its inception, providing a challenging stage for the future stars of women's golf. The club quietly enjoys a regional reputation for its commitment to the amateur game. The club's familial atmosphere is reinforced by its robust calendar of member events, centered around the grand clubhouse and a shared love for the game. Many members cite the club's legendary fried chicken as a staple of their Champions Retreat experience.
