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 Dream Center sees surge in families needing food as summer begins
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Augusta Dream Center is seeing more families turn to its food pantry this summer as children lose access to school lunches.
Organizations like the Augusta Dream Center see a surge in families who relied on school lunches during the academic year, according to Hallie Kohan, assistant director.
“We see a lot more families that have young kids who are in need that simply don’t have those meals they are normally getting,” Kohan said. “We see an influx of families that come through.”
Demand is up, but the food supply is not keeping pace.
“Right now we are having some food distribution issues so while we are seeing an increase in families, we are seeing a decrease in the amount of food coming through our doors,” Kohan said.
The center is asking the community to host food drives or donate kid-friendly items such as mac and cheese and oatmeal.
Every Sunday the Dream Center opens its doors for a hot meal, serving as many as 120 people.
“Families can come in and get their hot meal. They sit down, it’s dignified, it’s a diner,” Kohan said. “It’s a welcoming experience for kids to come in and not feel like they are in need.”
No paperwork is required to receive help.
“Just because you think someone is in a great situation, in today’s economy you never know,” Kohan said. “It could be your neighbor, mom, or best friend.”
The Augusta Dream Center food pantry is open Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon and Thursdays from 5 to 6 p.m. Hot meals are served Sundays from 5 to 6 p.m.
