Places to Play
The best courses you can play in Georgia
When most golfers think of "golf in Georgia," their imagination understandably travels to Augusta, Ga., down Washington Road and through Amen Corner. Yes, Augusta National is the most well-known course—not just in Georgia but the entire country. But golf in Georgia is about much more than the home of the Masters.
You might not put Georgia in the same category as Florida, California or Arizona in terms of golf states, but it's absolutely right behind those states. The Peach State is in the top 10 for population, and given its climate is so well-suited to golf ... we can think of few places we'd rather be for a variety of great golf.
Here are the top-rated courses public golf courses in Georgia, according to our Golf Digest course-ranking panelists.
