Hurricane Helene damage at Augusta National Golf Club

Thousands of homes in Augusta, known as the Garden City with 200,000 residents, were damaged in September by Hurricane Helene.

Recovery on what officials estimate as $282 million in residential losses continues.

Issues occurring at Augusta National Golf Club were not clearly stated, but photos circulated of flooding in famed Rae’s Creek and extensive damage along Washington Road.

Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said in January that “as far as the impact, the long-term impact, we have not quite as many trees as we did a year ago. As far as the golf course goes, it’s in spectacular condition. I think we had minor damage to the course, the playing surfaces themselves, but we were able to get that back in shape, but I don’t think you’re going to see any difference in the condition for the Masters this year.”
