This facility added the nine hole Lakeview Course in 1998, giving it three nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. The new holes were designed by James Ray Carpenter, past president of the PGA, and Ron Hickman, the director of golf. The Lakeview nine was carved out of adjacent timberland and is tighter than the original holes with more trouble coming into play. The original hilly, yet open Creekside and Valley courses have water hazards coming into play on twelve holes. Many large trees are scattered about the course and can alter your shots. In addition to all the water, there are fifty-four bunkers incorporated into the course design, including ten on one hole. The signature hole on the Creekside Course is #9, a 380-yard, par 4, because it is very picturesque. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. The same publication ranked it as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 5th best for 1997-98. This course has played host to 1993 USGA Senior Amateur Qualifying Round and the 1994 Skytel MPGA State Open.

Spacious fairways and good conditions make for a good round of golf. Favors big hitters.

Good course, well maintained, friendly locals.

Augusta Golf Course
"A fun course for the price."
Augusta Municipal Golf Course, affectionately known as "The Cabbage Patch" certainly isn't in the same league as its "big brother" on Washington Road, or even some of the more expensive public courses (The River, Jones Creek) in the Augusta area. However, that doesn't mean it's not a fun (and at times, very challenging) course to play. Greens range from very forgiving early in spring to harsh and very tight in summer and mid-winter. Fairways are narrow enough to provide a challenge off the tee on most holes. Rough is punishing throughout the course - so do your best to keep your ball out of it! Course upkeep can leave something to be desired, especially on weekends in spring and early summer. Don't be put off by the course's short length - you'll still find plenty of opportunity to hit every club in the bag. However, the short length does make for a good chance to walk the course and save a few bucks. Be sure to call for a tee time first, expecially on the weekends. New renovations to the clubhouse and a WONDERFUL staff add to the enjoyment of playing this cheap, fun, popular course where dozens of kids, students, and beginning adults have gotten their first taste of the game.

"Beautiful Course"
I grew up playing this course......I live in Florida now, but it was and remains a great place to play golf. It's not the TPC, but it is a fun and challenging course.

"a weekend player"
I have been playing this course for 20 years and the course is so improved and impeccable the last time I played which was last August, full irragation and watering systems that have been in full use for about 5 years now have greatly improved the play also paved cart paths and new and completely changed layouts are a real challenge. I and my friends always enjoy a day at the Raceway, it ends with a great meal in the Raceway Restaurant with abundant plates for your dollar and great food choices. Priced right, can't beat it.
