Expansion mode continues at Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Augusta National Golf Club’s footprint in Augusta continues to increase.

A club-affiliated corporate entity has acquired more than $6 million worth of real estate in recent weeks, The Augusta Chronicle reported. That includes a

Wendy’s fast-food restaurant on Washington Road and several homes in the West Terrace neighborhood.

The eight properties, totaling just over three acres, will be added to the more than $200 million in west Augusta land the club has acquired during a two-decade long campaign to expand its boundaries, the newspaper reported.
