Augusta, Georgia
Southern golf capital where azaleas bloom against red clay and Masters week transforms everything.
Augusta moves to the rhythm of the Savannah River, where antebellum mansions line tree-canopied streets and the city's identity pivots around one legendary golf tournament. The pace here is unhurried except for one electric week in April, when the world descends and transforms this quiet Georgia city into the center of the sporting universe.
