Augusta National officials continue expanding borders

AUGUSTA — Augusta National Golf Club’s footprint 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.

The purchases include 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.
