The Augusta Country Club (ACC) is a country club and golf course in Augusta, Georgia. It is located immediately adjacent to the more famous Augusta National Golf Club (ANGC).[1][2] It also borders on the Sands Hill Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic African-American community.
History
[edit | edit source]In 1897, the 9-hole golf course known as the Bon Air Golf Club was designed by Donald Ross.[1][3] In 1901, the course was expanded to 18-holes and then became known as the Augusta Country Club.[3]
In 1930, ACC held their first major national golf championship, the Southeastern Open, where amateur Bobby Jones defeated professional Horton Smith.[3]
In 2001, ACC successfully completed a restoration based on original 1927 Donald Ross sketches from the Tufts Archives in Pinehurst, North Carolina, which is how it remains today.[4]
On August 4, 2017, ANGC bought land from ACC.[5][6] As part of their deal, ANGC paid to redesign the ACC's 8th and 9th holes.[6]
