About Forest Hills Golf Club
Established in 1926, Georgia Regents University’s Forest Hills Golf Club is a much loved staple within the golf community in Augusta, Georgia. This 18-hole golf course holds remarkable history from Bobby Jones beginning his 1930 Grand Slam of Golf at Forest Hills in the Southeastern Open to college golf events where future greats like Phil Mickelson (1989), Davis Love III (1981, 1982) and others competed. Forest Hills is home to the Men’s and Women’s Jaguar Golf Teams of Georgia Regents University and became a part of golf history again when the Men’s Team successfully defended its 2010 NCAA Division I National Title and earned its second consecutive National Championship in 2011.
The 18-hole golf course was originally designed by world-renowned golf course architect Donald Ross and was renovated by the Arnold Palmer Company in 2004. Continuing its long-standing tradition of excellence, Forest Hills is repeatedly named “Best Public Golf Course” by Augusta Magazine and offers traditional Southern topography with level, rolling fairways surrounded by magnificent trees.
In addition to affordable rates, this accessible golf course features a driving range and practice facility, a bar and grill, and banquet facility. Annual memberships are also available. For information, call (706) 733-0001 or visit www.TheForestHillsGolfCourse.com.
