Mount Vintage Plantation & Golf Club

About this course
Mount Vintage Plantation & Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in North Augusta, South Carolina, just across the Savannah River from Augusta, Georgia. Designed by Tom Jackson and opened in the late 1990s, the course takes advantage of the area's natural elevation changes and wooded landscape, characteristics that distinguish it from the flatter layouts common in South Carolina's Lowcountry. The property's name reflects its setting on land that once formed part of a historic plantation, and the routing incorporates mature hardwoods and natural drainage corridors throughout. The layout presents a variety of hole types across its par-72 design, with doglegs that work around the property's topography and approach shots that often play to elevated or tiered greens. Water features come into play on several holes, and the course's bunkering follows traditional strategic principles, penalizing wayward shots while offering recovery options for skilled players. The conditioning and presentation reflect the club's commitment to providing a quality golf experience in the greater Augusta area. Mount Vintage operates as a private club and serves as a recreational and social center for its membership. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of upscale residential golf communities in the region. Its location near Augusta places it within a golf-rich corridor, though it maintains its own distinct character shaped by Jackson's design work and the property's natural features.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Mount Vintage Plantation & Golf Club begin at Augusta Regional Airport, a quick twenty-minute drive across the Savannah River into South Carolina's rolling piedmont. Columbia Metropolitan offers a larger alternative roughly an hour northeast, while private aircraft often favor Daniel Field in downtown Augusta for its proximity and discretion. The route from Georgia into North Augusta traces the river's edge before climbing gently into horse country, where white-fenced pastures and oak-lined lanes signal the transition from city to estate - culminating at the gated entrance of a club built to evoke the grand sporting plantations of the Carolina lowcountry.
