Champions Retreat, a private golf retreat in Augusta, Georgia, is one such club. I had never heard of it even though I\u2019m very much involved in golf courses, their history, their design, and their facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Champions Retreat is not a wonderful Retreat because it has three nine hole courses designed by three legends of the game. It\u2019s not a great Retreat because its food and beverage operation will rival the best in the country. And it isn\u2019t 5 stars because its facilities compare to Ritz Carlton. No, Champions Retreat is amongst the best in the country because it offers <strong><em>all of that<\/em><\/strong> plus a staff that will out service the best of the rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Unique Golfing Experience that evokes a passion, an obsession, a romance, and a pleasant familiarity with trees, sand, and water. &nbsp;\u201c<\/strong><em>May your ball lie in green pastures&#8230; and not in still waters. ~<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp;<\/em>The three nine-hole courses are built around distinct areas of natural topography\u2026an Island, a Bluff, and a Creek. Luck of the draw determined which legendary golfer would design which nine. Arnold Palmer, drawing first, drew the \u201cIsland\u201d. &nbsp;Jack Nicklaus then drew the \u201cBluff\u201d which left the \u201cCreek\u201d for Gary Player.<\/p>\n<p>Palmer\u2019s \u201cIsland\u201d course flows between the majestic Savannah River and the Little River. With spectacular hardwoods and pines throughout, Palmer purposely raised the fairways to take advantage of the serene vistas that overlook the fluent waters.<\/p>\n<p>The Nicklaus \u201cBluff\u201d course has some wonderful elevation changes, challenging doglegs both right and left, and his typical risk\/reward challenges. It\u2019s one of the best Nicklaus nines I\u2019ve played.<\/p>\n<p>Player\u2019s design of the \u201cCreek\u201d opens through a beautiful wetland area and finishes in the upland weaving through a forest of native hardwoods. I spoke with several golfers who thought it was his best design ever.<\/p>\n<p>Three great players\u2026three great nines!<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-26978-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/07\\\/champion2.jpg?fit=1024%2C768\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;26993&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;champion2&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/07\\\/champion3.jpg?fit=800%2C534\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;26994&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;champion3&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/07\\\/champion1-Medium.jpg?fit=960%2C768\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;26996&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;champion1 (Medium)&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cWith bottles of wine to drink when we dine\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>From &#8220;Valentino&#8221; by Gilbert O&#8217;Sullivan:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The first clue that you are about to experience a remarkable culinary treat is when you\u2019re introduced to Doug Snyder, the Director of Food and Beverage.
