THINGS TO DO
-
Goshen Plantation
"This course makes you use every club in the bag and it makes for a fun round. Practice facialities are outstanding and the staff is very friendly.
Fairways are some of the nicest I have seen. The greens are ok, but I understand are being completely redone in late summer. When the greens are finished this will be one hell of a golf club." - a Yahoo user -
Morris Museum of Art
"This museum is a wonderful surprise. It's located in a 7-story office building on the banks of the Savannah, but once you step inside the front doors, you feel magically transported to a lovely plantation home! The museum's collection of Southern art tells the history of this region from the late colonial period to the present. Look for "The Price of Blood," a post-Civil War painting that documents the sale of a mulatto slave by his father/slaveholder... powerful stuff! It wasn't on display when I last visited, but you can see it on their website. There are many lovely Impressionist paintings of the Charleston region, and the contemporary collection of work by self-taught artists is quite good although small. There is an audioguide for the permanent collection...ask at the desk. If you time your visit right, you can enjoy lots of great FREE programs on Sunday afternoons. Check out their website in advance of your visit. This is the best, most professionally run museum in Augusta, so if you're short on time, stop here first." - a Tripadvisor user
