This golf course in Augusta, Ga., can be yours for $2.5 million (no, not that one) – Australian Golf Digest
It’s never too early to start making plans to attend the Masters. In fact, you’re probably too late if you’re trying to find a hotel room within 20 miles of Augusta National for this April’s events, but if you’re interested in a longer-term play—and have a bit of room in your budget—you could secure the ultimate location to host buddies/Masters trips every year.
Goshen Plantation Golf Club—one of the few public courses within the city limits of Augusta—is up for sale, and if you have $2.5 million, you might even be able to close before the big tournament. The 1968 Ellis Maples design checks in at a sturdy 7,400 yards from the tips and has been the subject of a two-year rolling renovation by current owner Spike Kelley, a former PGA Tour player and winner of the 1975 Buick Open.

The 210-acre property has a 25,000 plantation-style clubhouse with a snack bar and banquet room and even includes a 1,900-square-foot apartment where the new owner could live and immediately hit the ground (or Masters grounds) running.
Green fees range from $28 to $49—cart included—and there are robust junior, senior and women’s programs in place. The club calls its practice area “Augusta’s best driving range,” but might be a bit of hyperbole considering the warm-up cathedral Augusta National built in 2010. Still, Augusta Magazine’s former “Best Public Course” winner is no dog track, and a prospective owner could certainly gain from the traditional 200 percent to 300 percent rate surges local courses typically deploy during Masters week.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A driver is in custody after leading Richmond County deputies on a chase that ended in a rollover crash Thursday evening.
Richmond County Sheriff’s Office deputies say they attempted to stop a black BMW sedan with no registration plate on Tubman Home Road at Gordon Highway around 6:30 p.m.
The driver, Willie Junior Brown, 33, failed to stop and led deputies on a pursuit, according law enforcement.
Deputies say Brown lost control of the vehicle on the 2500 block of Blueberry Drive, striking an unoccupied 1999 Chevrolet Silverado.
Brown’s vehicle rolled over and he then attempted to flee on foot before being taken into custody.
Deputies say Brown was transported to a hospital for treatment.
Several criminal charges are forthcoming and the investigation is ongoing.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A state budget cut is reducing the number of children Mach Academy can serve.
Faith Henderson, a coach at MACH Academy, said the program offers students more than athletic training.
“It’s not just the physical aspect. It’s the mental, it’s the character, the education. We have so much to offer to these kids and they need it,” Henderson said.
Henderson said she works with students individually through an educational enrichment component of the program.
“I come in with our educational enrichment program so I can give attention to individual students one at a time each day to help get to where they need to be” she said.
Funding cuts reduce enrollment
Michael Harden, president and CEO of MACH Academy, said the budget reduction has cut summer enrollment nearly in half.
“We have served in the past 60 to 70 kids. That reduction has limited us to maybe 30 to 40 kids this summer,” Harden said.
Helen Thomas-Pope, operations manager at MACH Academy, said the cuts are also affecting the program’s ability to prepare students for the upcoming school year.
“What we try to do is help them be prepared when they go back to school. We would like to do that as best we can. But I’m not sure that we’ll be able to be as successful as we have been in the past,” Thomas-Pope said.
Thomas-Pope said the four-day-a-week schedule may also need to change.
“Unfortunately, some kids may not have the opportunity to come out. Currently, our program is four days a week. And we may have to do more of a rotation where not all kids are able to come for the four days,” she said.
Staff commitment
Despite the reduced funding, Henderson said staff remain committed to the program’s mission.
“I grew up here. All of the coaches here, we grew up here or we started with MACH Academy and have come back to give back to MACH Academy because we believe in what MACH Academy does,” she said.
