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 his 1930 Grand Slam of Golf at Forest Hills in the Southeastern Open to College 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 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.
