One Less Greater Augusta Golf Option?

David Lee reports in the Augusta Chronicle that Mount Vintage Plantation Golf Club near Aiken shut down Friday.

It's the second time the former LPGA Tour site has closed.

The golf course, restaurant and town center closed effective 2 p.m., according to Mount Vintage residents who received a memo.

Mike Hooker, who has been a Mount Vintage resident since 2003, bought the golf club Aug. 1, 2011, from Mount Vintage Development Co. LLC. The club off Sweetwater Road in Edgefield County nearly closed in 2010 before Hooker stepped in.
