WELCOME GOLF FANS

Because of our close proximity to Augusta (one hour to be exact) and an abundance of places to stay, Columbia SC is the best place for you to hang up your clubs for the weekend. Visiting for the tournament? Looking for somewhere to unwind with a hot meal or a cold drink after a long day watching the pros? How about some activities for the downtime before you head back home? We've got you covered with bites, brews, and fun for your stay in the heart of SC.

We look forward to hosting you for the 2025 tournament April 10 - 13!

Get your golf on

Columbia is no stranger to golf courses of our own. If you're wanting to unwind on your free day, consider booking a tee time and have a tournament of your own. Many of Columbia's public and semi-private courses offer tee times for visitors looking to channel the moves of their favorite tour players. Enjoy an afternoon in Lexington at Golden Hills Golf & Country Club or over at Hidden Valley Golf Club. Columbia Country Club offers a non-member guest rate of $125 during Masters week, which includes cart fee, greens fee, range balls and tax. Is it time you got a green jacket in your closet?
