Nothing quite feels like the opening of the spring season like when the worlds top professional golfers head to the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club to compete in the Masters Tournament. As an attendee to the annual event you can watch these athletes compete against one another on arguably the most beautifully designed yet challenging gold courses in the world. If you want to be a spectator, tickets are extremely difficult to find, however you may have more luck trying to get into the events practice rounds, which require you to enter a lottery nearly a year before the event is actually held.

As a local! I found the negative reviews more of a review of Augusta not the National! It is “like Oz” bc it’s hidden behind giant green walls... on the other side everything is in “color”! Yes it sucks you can’t just walk up and take pictures but, if you could it wouldn’t be so special! There is one small sign in the front they allow pictures to be taken in front of but that’s all! Don’t try to get in you will be arrested! Just don’t waste your gas or a plane ticket thinking you can walk up into a pro shop because that’s just not how it works! Chillax people! If you get the opportunity to go and enjoy it... do it... but, only during an actual tournament!

I took my daughter to see the classic rock group Kansas at this newly renovated theatre in downtown Augusta. Being that much of the area surrounding this venue needs a facelift, this place has been updated and it is a fantastic place to see a live show. The sound was superb, the seating was comfortable and the staff were great. Highly recommended!

My two sons (8 and 10) and I were passing through Augusta on Easter Sunday. We stopped by not fully expecting the museum to be open. The owner was just about to paint his floors but let us in anyway. I am so happy he did. It was awesome! It was the perfect amount of history for me and weird wild stuff for my kids. We all came away learning the history of American entertainment and it was the most unique experience of our week long trip. We are all still talking about it, remembering the stories and strange things we saw. The exterior does not look like a normal museum so you may walk up to it a little unsure but once you experience it you will love everything about it. We absolutely loved this experience. I wear my Pexcho's T-shirt with pride and hope someone will ask me about it.

A gem in the heart of Augusta touring sacred heart was beyond my imagination. The beauty of the flowers are among some of the best I've ever seen. We did the audio tour with headphones helping me to connect with some of the amazing aspects of this beautiful building. I can see why every girls dream is to get married there it would be almost like a magical wedding. The history behind the whole museum makes it even better!! Staff is also an amazing added bonus

We went to the Savannah Rapids visitor Center and then walked the Augusta canal trail. Walked 2 miles south and then back 2 miles. The total distance can be as much as 8 miles on this trail. Lots of wildlife and history as you walk this trail. Good place to get away from the business of life.

Whether you just want a nice peaceful walk along the river, stop at the museum or a restaurant, see a concert, or just view the homes across the river, it’s a gem for Augusta. It’s a lot better than walking down Broad Street which needs plenty of help and revitalization.
