Augustine Golf Club
Augustine opened in 1996 and was recognized by Golf Digest as a 5th best public course to play. “The bones of this course are solid,” said Doug, and he’d like to get the course back in this same condition! There is opportunity for improvement as you’ll see in our notes, but Andy Sutherland, superintendent and Doug Walczak, Director of Golf, are doing as much as possible to make the necessary improvements to get the course back to the 1996 accolades.
Jacobson Golf Course Design Group did a fabulous job of creating an experience for every level of golfer with 5 different tees from which to play.
Almost every hole was framed by trees off the tee and on approach to the green. Hole 11 was especially memorable due to the distinct landing area and bunkering on the approach which made it a good risk/reward hole. A creek meanders through the course and comes into play several times.
One of our favorites: Hole 18, Par 5 – A very good finishing hole. The tee box was slightly elevated to a beautiful view back to the clubhouse. Two fairway bunkers might get you, one on the right, one on the left on the 2nd shot. Bunkers in front of the green come into play on approach. The green slopes right and left from the center.
