THE RENOVATION
Augusta, GA has a rich history of military service and is the location for Ft. Gordon, a major Army installation. Already recognized as the mecca for golf, Augusta is honoring these two major attributes to bring a new destination golf course to the city, built by veterans. The AMGC will be constructed as a signature, fully ADA compliant golf course designed as one of the most accessible golf facilities in the nation.
Phase I will involve the design, construction, and grow-in of the front nine of the AMGC. This will include the complete 18-hole course design and layout, landscape design and engineering, in addition to the construction of tees, greens, bunkers, turf, irrigation, drainage, cart paths, and bridges. Phase II will involve the design, construction, and grow-in of the back nine of and the renovation of the practice tee and green areas.
FOR PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES
Promoting equality through the game of golf will be the cornerstone of the finished project, expanding opportunities for AMGC members, the general public, and people of all-abilities to learn, participate, and enjoy America’s favorite sport. The renovated course will provide new features that did not previously exist for friendly competition including multi-tiered tees, combined natural and synthetic turf areas, and accessible bunkers and pathways.
Future considerations for a world-class golf training center and inclusive golf programs will address ADA compliance for accommodations including adaptive equipment and carts. In keeping with Augusta’s universal brand as the golf mecca, The Warrior Alliance envisions hosting tournaments for veterans with disabilities, with the goal of attracting attendees and all-abilities golf associations from around the world.
