The fifth annual Augusta National Women’s Amateur has brought two weeks of golf and increased attention to Columbia County, where Champion’s Retreat is located. The tournament is not only showcasing the skills of the women golfers but also highlighting local businesses in the area.
Local businesses like Ironwood Tavern and Vampire Penguin have experienced a surge in customers during the tournament, resulting in more revenue and new customers for these establishments. Employees at Ironwood Tavern, located just minutes away from the course, are excited about the increase in business and the opportunity to meet new people. They have learned to prepare better each year, ordering extra supplies to accommodate the influx of patrons.
Rooted Coffee, a popular spot for morning pick-me-ups, is seeing a steady stream of golf enthusiasts grabbing a drink or snack before hitting the course. The increased business is not only beneficial for the businesses themselves but also enhances the experience for the patrons, who get to enjoy a taste of the local offerings while attending the tournament in Columbia County.
