Columbia County’s Planning Commission on March 19 recommended approval of five annual temporary-use applications tied to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur tournament at Champions Retreat Golf Course.
Dylan, planning staff, told commissioners the permits cover temporary trailers for security at a front roundabout, concession and restroom trailers, TV and scoreboard towers, and an employee parking area at Grace Baptist Church, 4945 Hardy McManis Road. Staff recommended approval of all five applications as typical event-related, temporary structures.
A commissioner moved to approve H1B1 through H1B5 for Champions Retreat Golf Course; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. There was no public opposition recorded in the transcript.
The commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Columbia County Board of Commissioners for final action on April 21, 2026.
