Gordon Lakes Golf Course in Augusta, Ga. may not be in the top echelon of military courses, like the Air Force Academy's Eisenhower Blue Course, also designed by Jones Sr.; the Fort Golf Course at Fort Benjamin Harrison outside Indianapolis; or Fort Ord's Bayonet Course in Seaside, Calif. but it is a very nice course.
The course has pines and big oaks, rolling terrain, challenging doglegs and large, receptive greens, centered by Lake Gordon. The Lake View is probably the most difficult, though its 30-year-old greens, as well as much of the rest of the course, are due to be shut down and renovated in April 2006, an improvement expected to cost $1 million. Officials also plan to cut down 300 trees to get better views of the lake.
