Thinking About Living in Champions Retreat Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Champions Retreat Golf Club and the surrounding Augusta golf market.
Champions Retreat is a unique 27-hole private club opened in 2005 along the Savannah River in Evans, Columbia County -- the only course in the world combining individually designed nines from Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player. Since 2023 it has hosted the practice-round tradition for the Augusta National Women's Amateur, giving it sustained current national tournament relevance beyond its design pedigree alone.
Golf & Course
Opened in 2005 on 365 acres along the Savannah River, the club's three nines were each individually designed by one of golf's 'Big Three' -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player -- an arrangement found nowhere else in the world. It hosts the practice-round tradition tied to the Augusta National Women's Amateur, whose final round is played at Augusta National itself.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is invitation-only, available to qualified prospects rather than through open application; no fee schedule is published. There is no residential-purchase path to membership identified in this research.

No conventional developer-built residential subdivision was found tied to the club; it operates as a standalone private club on riverfront acreage with 14 on-site cottages (84 rooms) available to members and guests, owned by a mix of the operating company, corporate entities, and individuals -- distinct from a typical golf-community home-purchase model and flagged here for further verification rather than assumed.

On-site cottage accommodations (four- and eight-bedroom configurations) support an overnight/retreat club experience beyond day-use golf.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee/membership process directly with the club -- not published.
