Ultimate Guide to Transportation at the Masters

The Masters: Investment & Lifestyle

"Navigating the logistics of Augusta National, and discovering the rental economy of Lake Oconee."

Attending the Masters Tournament at Augusta National is an unforgettable experience, but navigating transportation can be challenging. Whether you're a local or flying in from overseas, here is our guide to stress-free travel.

Getting to Augusta: Your Travel Options

Traveling from afar, you'll likely start your experience at an airport. Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is situated 20 minutes south of the course. It provides a seamless transition into the atmosphere, though service is limited.

Major Airports

Alternatively, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL) is approximately two hours by car. Boasting far more direct flights, the trade-off is a drive through heavily trafficked corridors. We recommend hiring a private car service for this leg.

Private Aviation

Private jets frequently land at Daniel Field, just minutes from Augusta National. Arranging a charter significantly enhances the luxury of your travel experience.

Ground Transportation

Car Rental

Rentals are plentiful but book up months in advance. Plan your route to avoid Washington Road congestion.

Private Car Service

For ultimate convenience, services like Carey Executive Limousine cater specifically to attendees.

Ride-Sharing

Uber and Lyft operate extensively, though surge pricing is common. Schedule rides in advance via the app.

Hotel Shuttles

Many premium hotels offer dedicated shuttles. Check availability when booking your accommodations.

Market Intelligence

Don't Just Visit. Invest.

"Did you know that many Lake Oconee homeowners cover their entire annual property tax bill by renting their home for just 7 days?"

$20k - $50k

Masters Week Income

Corporate hospitality groups pay a premium for luxury homes in Reynolds and Cuscowilla.

Zero

Vacancy Rate

Demand consistently outstrips supply. High-end homes with 4+ bedrooms are typically booked 12 months in advance.

Insider Tips for Navigating Traffic

The Masters is a full-day affair. Traffic peaks early in the morning and again during evening exits. Aim to arrive at least one hour before gates open, or stay late to enjoy the grounds.

Parking Options

Parking at Augusta National is complimentary but fills quickly. Gates open at 8am. For peace of mind, many private homes offer reserved parking ($20-$100/day).

Walking

Walking is a stress-free option if you are in neighborhoods like National Hills. However, avoid walking from hotels near the I-20 intersection due to limited sidewalks.

Extend Your Stay. Forever.

Situated less than 90 minutes west of Augusta National, Lake Oconee offers a lifestyle of world-class golf and 375 miles of shoreline.
