Gordon Lakes Golf Club
About this course
Gordon Lakes Golf Club sits on the grounds of Fort Gordon, a U.S. Army installation near Augusta, Georgia. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the course, which opened in the 1950s during a period when Jones was creating numerous military golf facilities across the country. The layout serves active duty personnel, retirees, and authorized guests, making it part of the military golf tradition in the Augusta area. The course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, with tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes. Jones incorporated his signature design elements—strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and hazards positioned to reward accurate shot-making. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography while maintaining playability for a range of skill levels, a balance Jones often sought in his military course designs. Gordon Lakes reflects the post-war era of American golf course construction, when Jones was establishing the architectural principles that would define his career. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without excessive length, emphasizing placement and course management. As a military facility, it maintains a functional, accessible character while offering design features associated with Jones's broader body of work from this period.
