Every April, the Augusta National hosts the Masters, one of the world’s four major golf tournaments, and the Women's Amateur. These events are held the first two full weeks of April. Thousands of visitors will be in Augusta as early as the practice rounds. Every hotel for miles around will be filled to capacity, often including Pointes West Army Resort and lodging on post. Also, restaurants will be at capacity with a large wait time, so plan to eat at home that week. Do not arrive in Augusta just before or during Masters week without reservations.
Do not plan to arrive or try to find lodging during the first two weeks of April. The area will be flooded with tourists due to the Master's Golf Tournament and the Augusta National Women's Amateur.
