West Lake Country Club is located a little more than 5 miles from Augusta National and while it may not have achieved the notoriety of the latter, this private gated community of prestigious estate homes offers a friendly and healthy lifestyle for all ages.

Each year during Masters Week, both the community and Country Club become a special place. Many homes in the community are rented to large corporations who pay big money for a home near Augusta National where they can entertain corporate clients. It’s not unusual for large homes in the area to bring six-figure rental income just for the week.

Several corporations that become members of the community for the week host their events at the West Lake Country Club’s clubhouse. This gives them and their guests access to West Lake’s amenities including the golf course, fitness center, and spa, as well as the live entertainment onsite. West Lake’s indoor and outdoor facilities are fully customizable with wireless and high-speed Internet, and access to a highly skilled team of culinary experts and event specialists.

West Lake Country Club offers special packages beginning April 2nd through April 10th to play the golf course and enjoy the great layout, its beauty, and all the fantastic amenities of the club. Included in these packages are:
- 18 holes of championship golf on this spectacular Ellis Maples design.
- Unlimited use of the driving range and practice facilities.
- Complimentary club storage and locker rental.
- Complimentary use of the Tennis and Fitness Centers

Over the past several years these packages have sold out quickly so if you’re interested, call Director of Golf Chris Bates at (706) 863-4640 or email him.

West Lake is best known by both members and visiting golfers for its well-groomed fairways, impeccable playing conditions, and Champion Bermuda greens that typically run between 11.0 - 12.0 on the stimpmeter and roll true to form. You’ll encounter penalty areas on at least 7 holes; possibly more if you’re playing poorly!

When you think of golf in Augusta, you think of the Masters, and when you think of the Masters, you think of tall, stately pine trees. West Lake does in fact have its fair share of these beautiful mature trees, and, after playing the course, you may have a different opinion of what may have been your favorite tree! The golf course at West Lake offers golfers 5 sets of tees and can be played anywhere from 3,272 yards (Red Tees) to 6,857 yards (Blue Tees) making it challenging and rewarding for players of all levels. The course is not long but the undulation in both the fairways and greens makes it a challenge. And, with holes that dogleg both left and right, it helps if you know how to work the ball. Tightly mown collars around the greens put an emphasis on a good short game.

In addition to a fantastic golf course, membership at West Lake Country Club includes some pretty impressive amenities including a full-length driving range, a fitness center that is open 24/7, a luxury spa, 10 tennis courts, and 4 pickleball courts, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, dining and kid’s activities.

Several membership options are available at West Lake Country Club including Full Golf Memberships, Young Professional (Under 40), and Junior (Under 18) Golf Memberships. Athletic and Social Memberships are also available. Check out the Membership tab on the website for more information.
