West Lake Country Club, a cornerstone of Augusta-area golf since its inception, offers a classic, member-cherished experience just a short drive from the Masters Tournament grounds. Carved from gently rolling Georgia terrain, the course blends traditional parkland aesthetics with subtle elevation changes, creating a layout that rewards strategic play over sheer power. While the original design has seen enhancements over the years, the spirit of classic course architecture remains. West Lake favors a thoughtful approach; its tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers encourage players to consider angles and club selection carefully. Players will notice that the course has doglegs that favor faders, but generally, West Lake presents a fair test for golfers of all skill levels, allowing a variety of approaches to be considered and implemented. West Lake's identity is further defined by its close-knit membership, known for their passion for the game and camaraderie on and off the course. The club boasts a reputation for gracious Southern hospitality and a commitment to preserving the traditions of the game. While not often mentioned among the nation's most elite courses, West Lake holds a special place in the hearts of those who call it home.
