Situated on the southern banks of the storied Savannah River, Augusta is Georgia’s second oldest and second largest city. Serving as a halfway point between the Appalachian Mountains to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Augusta is a thriving community with a welcoming history and a spirit of creativity and innovation.

A vibrant community that straddles the line between big-city bustle and small-town charm, Augusta is home to some of the state’s most beautiful lakes and trails, as well as live music, theater, and culinary delights ranging from out-of-the-way eateries to fine-dining restaurants. A few minutes from downtown is Fort Eisenhower, a large, multi-mission military installation and home to the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence.

Each year during the first week of April, the city becomes the golf capital of the world as the annual Masters tournament takes place, drawing local legends and long-time favorites to what many consider to be the most beautiful golf course in the world.
