Why we love this place
We love Forest Hills for the living history underfoot. Walking Donald Ross greens where Bobby Jones launched his 1930 Grand Slam year gives every round a sense of occasion. That it's now Augusta University's public home course means anyone can share in that story, which is exactly the kind of accessible tradition we cheer for.

About Forest Hills Golf Club
Forest Hills Golf Club opened in 1926 in Augusta, Georgia, laid out by celebrated Scottish-American architect Donald Ross. The course earned a permanent place in golf lore in 1930, when Bobby Jones won the Southeastern Open here by a commanding thirteen strokes early in his historic Grand Slam year; Jones later called it "the best-played tournament I ever turned out in my life." The event was staged jointly with nearby Augusta Country Club. Today Forest Hills serves as the home course of Augusta University's golf teams and operates as a public facility. An Arnold Palmer Design Company renovation in 2004 modernized the layout, though roughly thirteen of Ross's original holes and the historic clubhouse remain. Known for its classic Ross greens and strategic bunkering, the parkland course measures just over 7,000 yards and still hosts college and amateur competition.
