Bartram Trail GC is Augusta’s newest daily fee golf course. Located next to Patriot’s Park in Grovetown, Georgia, the Bartram Trail course takes full advantage of the mature hardwood and pine forests on either side of Euchee Creek.

As envisioned by Rick Robbins of Robbins and Associates International, the course is designed with playability and enjoyment in mind. Players at Bartram Trail will find a course that is a little over 6,700 yards in length with bent-grass greens averaging 6,200 square feet. Taking advantage of the rolling terrain, wetland areas, and creek bed, Robbins has created an unusual par 72 course with five par 3’s and par 5’s instead of the typical course with four each.

The course is owned by the Bartram Trail Community Development Corporation, a non-profit entity set up to own and operate the course for the eventual owner – Columbia County. The course is managed by East West Partners Club Management.

Hole By Hole Strategy Guide

Hole #1 Par 4	400 368 324 284	Maybe not the most intimidating tee shot distance wise, but accuracy is a key with three fairway bunkers on the right side and a pond on the left, with a large tree protecting the green from any tee shot down the left side. There are two greenside bunkers; front right and back left protecting the green.
Hole #2 Par 4	371 334 297 261	Don’t let the yardage fool you at 371, because an uphill fairway will not allow for much roll. A creek running before the fairway should not be in play with a well-struck tee shot. The fairway is also protected by a bunker on the left side. The fairway is a must hit, so that you can control your second shot to a green with a bunker short left, a false front, and a collection area on the right.
Hole #3 Par 5	533 512 463 380	A very demanding dogleg left par 5 that long hitters can reach in two, but with the smallest green on the golf course awaiting. A draw or a straight tee shot is required with three bunkers to punish the errant shot; one protecting the corner on the left and two on the far side of the dogleg. A lay up shot should be played to the right side of the fairway, which opens up the green for your third shot to a multi-level green with a bunker protecting the left side which runs away. Your third shot should favor the right center of the green with trouble left and long.
Hole #4 Par 3	167 150 141 122	An elevated tee makes club selection difficult. Accuracy is a must with a ridge running through the middle of the green from back to front, which divides the green into two distinct levels. Two bunkers protect the right side of the green.
Hole #5 Par 4	417 394 363 331	A blind tee shot makes this hole look easier than it really is. A fairway bunker guards the right side with a severe slope running away from the fairway down the entire landing zone. This makes the left side of the fairway a must. The approach shot is slightly downhill to a narrow and deep green that is protected by a natural slope on the left.
Hole #6 Par 4	417 376 338 298	A scenic downhill par 4 whose tee is the highest elevation on the golf course. Don’t let the openness of the hole fool you because the entire hole slopes from right to left with trouble down the entire left side. The tee shot is slightly downhill with a bunker protecting the right side of the fairway. The approach shot is challenging with a bunker on the left and a severe slope running away on the left and the backside.
Hole #7 Par 4	380 340 307 263	A classic risk/reward par 4 with a fairway bunker left and a pond on the right. Fairway wood may be the play, with a driver bringing the trouble into play. The approach shot is downhill to a large, but well protected, green with a bunker on the left and the pond extending around the back left of the green.
Hole #8 Par 3	188 172 150 136	A very scenic but challenging par 3 over water. The green is protected by two bunkers, one right and one in the back center. The green is flared in the back which gives it a bigger look than it really is.
Hole #9 Par 5	511 491 419 394	A slight dogleg left with a fairway divided in two by a wetland with a conservation area along the entire left side. The tee shot is slightly blind with a large native area that will swallow any quick hook. Don’t be fooled by the fairway bunkers on the right; the aggressive line is down the left side. Once in the fairway you are looking down at the green complex. You will see five strategically placed bunkers guarding the green. Going for the green in two may actually provide for an easier third shot, but you must guard against going left.
Hole #10 Par 4	404 375 339 302	The tee shot is uphill and slightly blind to a landing area protected by a fairway bunker on the right side with the fairway running slightly right to left with the left rough running down and away from the hole. The green is shaped like an upside down L with a bunker on the middle left of the green. The green features three different levels with the front being the low, the middle being the high, and the back left running away.
Hole #11 Par 5	516 483 448 404	The 11th hole is the first and shortest par 5 on the backside. The tee is some 30 feet above the landing area that follows with a slight dog leg right. For the longer hitters, right center of the fairway is the aggressive line off the tee. There are 2 fairway bunkers protecting the lay up area, the first on the left and the second further down on the right. There are also 2 greenside bunkers protecting the front on the green.
Hole #12 Par 3	187 170 148 119	The 12th hole is a medium to long Par 3 which plays slightly uphill. There is a lone bunker protecting the front right of the green.
Hole #13 Par 5	565 53 441 406	The 13th hole is the second par 5 on the backside and is also the longest hole on the entire golf course. The fairway slopes slightly from left to right which feeds into a pond on the right side, but remains out of reach for most off the tee. Such a long hole forces most players to lay up down the fairway which is protected with two fairway bunkers, one on each side. Once you’ve reached your third shot, you’re forced to shoot over a stream to a green that is divided by severe slopes and protected by a bunker to the middle right.
Hole #14 Par 3	168 159 135 113	The 14th hole is the second and shortest par 3 on the backside, but requires shots to carry over a ravine which makes for an intriguing shot. The green is also guarded by two bunkers short and right.
Hole #15 Par 4	402 377 345 315	The 15th hole utilizes the natural lay of the land and flows nicely downhill with the fairway rolling slightly right to left towards two fairway bunkers. Your second shot comes into a perched green with the back half of the green running away.
Hole #16 Par 3	203 191 173 143	The 16th hole is a long downhill par 3 that plays over Euchee Creek. The green is wide but shallow and is protected by a front left bunker and a back middle perched bunker. Depending on the height of the turfgrass behind the green, shots may roll back onto the green or stay on a severely sloped bank.
Hole #17 Par 4	337 291 244 215	The 17th hole is another risk/reward hole with several alternatives plays. Long hitters can possibly drive the green with trouble lurking in the form of a big tree on the left and four strategically positioned bunkers guarding the green complex. For the shorter hitters the lay up area is out to the right. Once in the fairway, your second shot is slightly uphill with a bunker protecting the front right.
Hole #18 Par 5	540 510 470 419	The final hole is a reachable par 5. The tee shot is slightly uphill with the fairway bunker on the right side. Once you have reached the top of the hill, you are left with a beautiful shot to the green with a pond lurking behind. If you’ve been blessed with a good tee shot, you are left with two different kinds of shots. One is to go for the green that is well protected with three bunkers short of the green and water behind, or to lay out to the right which opens up the green for your third shot. There is, however, plenty of room left of the largest green on the golf course with a left side running off into a collection area.
