Your Guide to Making the Most of Masters Week in Augusta, Georgia
Masters Week in Augusta is a one-of-a-kind experience, filled with the excitement of world-class golf, Southern charm, and the opportunity to create unforgettable memories. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned attendee, there are many ways to elevate your stay. From dining to entertainment, here are a few tips to make your Masters trip extraordinary.
1. Indulge in Augusta's Local Culinary Scene
Augusta offers a wide variety of dining options, from beloved local BBQ joints to upscale Southern cuisine. Be sure to explore downtown Augusta or head to Surrey Center, where you’ll find a mix of gourmet restaurants and trendy bars. Where ever you go, take it from us: PLAN AHEAD FOR RESERVATIONS. While most place will be able to handle walk-ins early, most groups book dinner reservations at popular spots as early as January. We would personally suggest getting confirmation via email if possible of your reservation as some systems are overloaded in Augusta during that week, and you don't want your reservation to be lost. Also be super careful with cancellation policies as they can cost you big if your group does not show up.
2. Level-Up with a Private Chef + In-Home Restaurant
If you’re hosting a VIP group or simply want to avoid the crowds, hiring a private chef for a bespoke culinary experience in the comfort of your hospitality home is the epitome of luxury. Whether you're planning a casual meal or a more formal event, private chefs can tailor a menu that meets your tastes and preferences. From Southern classics to international gourmet dishes, this option offers both convenience and luxury. This is also great to add cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres, snacks ready as soon as your guests get off the course... and everyone loves to hang out with renowned chefs! Whether you have 6 guests or 35+, having a chef and hospitality staff for the week is the BEST way to level-up your experience.
4. Relax and Unwind at Augusta’s Top Spas
After a long day on the course or out exploring, why not treat yourself to some pampering? Augusta boasts a variety of top-rated spas where you can unwind with massages, facials, and other relaxing treatments. Be sure to book your appointments in advance, as spa services tend to fill up quickly during Masters Week. We always love sending our groups to Cucumber & Mint in the heart of Augusta-- minutes away from the course! We also have private services who can arrange services in your host home from yoga to massages... so be sure reach out if we can help!
6. Elevate Your Experience with Custom Touches
If you’re hosting clients or friends during Masters Week, adding personalized touches can really elevate the experience. Consider branded welcome baskets filled with local treats, wine, or personalized gifts. While some companies go early to purchase the official Masters gear for clients in the pro shop, you can also brand their company logo on other things to have in the host home found on etsy or ordered through us! It’s a small gesture that leaves a big impression, and trust me, every group we have hosted in the past RAVE about the branding going the "extra mile."
Spice Up the Hospitality House
We love hosting scotch, cigar, and wine tastings to really spice up the expierience at the hospitality houses.
Our Clients' Trends :
Every house has a private chef, 2+ servers, a bartender and/or sommelier. Going out is just a hassle, and may be great one day... but almost every client we have LOVES bringing the restaurant inside their own home. No lines, no crowds -- and 100% of the attention for a true VIP experience.
In-Home breakfast with a chef, even if it is 1/2 A La Carte ordering and 1/2 grab-and-go to get to the course faster is ALWAYS a hit.
Mix up the styles of the dinners - do a casual, laid back dinner and have a few that are elevated restaurant, multi course experiences. More often than not, we build custom furniture for our groups to eat under the stars to really elevate the dinner experience.
Always have snacks on deck! We love having a custom charcuterie board boxed up in the fridge for the day guests arrive or when they get off the course (especially on the days it rains).
Sommeliers and bartenders for craft cocktails and wine tasting - once our clients have this one year, it is a non-negotiable for the next year. They become obsessed.
CUSTOM BRANDING. We can't say it enough how far this goes! We add your logo anywhere we can from custom pop-up furniture, cookies, menus and signage.... we want your group to really feel like every ounce of their experience was curated JUST FOR THEM! We have even created quick websites that has the weather, leaderboards, itineraries, etc. just for their clients.
