The Augusta Municipal Golf Course, also known as The Patch, will open fully for public play on Wednesday, April 15. This comes after a 16-month renovation of the 18-hole golf course, led by Tom Fazio and Beau Welling, along with a newly designed nine-hole short course, The Loop at The Patch, which was designed by Tiger Woods and his firm TGR Design.
Essential to The Patch Project is providing an accessible and affordable public golf experience for the Augusta Community. The 18-hole walking rate for local residents, as defined on GolfThePatch.com, will be $25 Monday through Thursday and $35 Friday through Sunday, while The Loop at The Patch will cost $15 for local residents.
The Patch practice facilities encompass 17 acres and feature Trackman Range, including an area with 20 covered bays. Additionally, the Putting Course is available to the general public at no cost, with a 12-hole routing, offering a fun way for people of any skill level to enjoy the game.
The full pricing structure for The Patch, The Loop at The Patch and the practice facilities is available on GolfThePatch.com and includes rates for active-duty military, seniors, juniors and local and non-local residents, as well as cart fees.
Booking instructions will be provided at a later date. Available tee times will increase gradually and reach full capacity in the summer months. The First Tee of Augusta will resume normal activities at The Patch on May 1.
A soft opening of The Patch will take place mid-March with limited access for local community groups, including regular players at The Patch and high school teams. Play will continue with private hospitality opportunities during the week of The Masters Tournament before fully opening on April 15.
