Alister MacKenzie, Augusta National’s co-designer, substantially reworked the course in 1932. Its cleverly contoured greens, gently tumbling terrain and history-drenched clubhouse (designed by Stanford White of Shinnecock Hills fame) are guaranteed to impress.
Mount Vintage
Mother Nature gave Mount Vintage the perfect setting for a golf course with dramatic topography, beautiful tree cover and sparkling streams. Golf Course Architect Tom Jackson designed the 27 holes to fit perfectly into this diverse topography. The result is a championship layout which is scenic, challenging and fun to play for all levels of golfers.
Each of the three nines -- Chester, Vintage and Independent -- features Champion G12 (Bermuda) greens and Bermuda 419 fairways. The three nines provide a variety of shot values and distinguishing features, yet blend together to leave the golfer with vivid memories of an enjoyable experience.

Sage Valley
Par: 72 | Yardage: 7344 | Opened: 2001

Sage Valley is an ultra private golf club, however if you know the right people it is possible to experience all that it has to offer during one week of the year, Masters Week.
The course and clubhouse are surrounded by several thousand acres of preserved southern pine forest providing a setting of serenity and tranquilness found in visions of life in the south.
