ABOUT THE COURSE
Established in 1926, Augusta University's Forest Hills is a much loved staple within the Augusta, Georgia golf community. This 18-hole course holds remarkable history from Bobby Jones beginning. The course was originally designed by world renowned course architect Donald Ross, it was renovated by the Arnold Palmer Company in 2003. Forest Hills is home to the Men's and Women's Jaguar Golf Teams and became a part of history again when the Men's Team successfully defended their 2010 NCAA Division I National Title to earn their second consecutive National Championship in 2011.
