A Sports Fan's Travel Guide to Augusta, Georgia

While Augusta, Georgia, is globally renowned for a single week in April when the azaleas bloom and the green jackets are awarded, the Garden City offers a robust year-round sports culture that extends far beyond the immaculate fairways of Augusta National. For sports fans, athletic directors, and event organizers, Augusta is a hub of activity ranging from high-energy minor league baseball to intense collegiate rivalries and world-class endurance events. However, navigating the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) during peak sporting seasons can be a logistical challenge, with traffic congesting Washington Road and parking becoming a premium commodity.

That is where Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta steps in. We are more than just a ride; we are your strategic partner in game-day logistics. Whether you are a group of golf enthusiasts heading to the Masters, a travel ball team competing at the Diamond Lakes Regional Park, or a fan club looking to catch an Augusta University Jaguars game, we provide the fleet and the expertise to keep you moving. With reliable charter buses, minibuses, and sprinter vans, we turn the hassle of game-day travel into a seamless, air-conditioned experience. Let us handle the driving while you focus on the score.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

The Masters Tournament & Augusta National Golf Club

It is impossible to talk about sports in Augusta without beginning with the crown jewel: The Masters Tournament. Held annually at the Augusta National Golf Club (2604 Washington Rd, Augusta, GA 30904), this is the holy grail of golf. For one week every April, the eyes of the sporting world turn to our city. If you are lucky enough to have badges, you know that the logistics of getting to the course can be daunting. Traffic on Washington Road and I-20 creates significant delays, and public parking is often miles away from the gates.

Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta specializes in corporate and private group transportation specifically for Masters Week. We can arrange for a sleek minibus or a full-size charter bus to pick your group up from your rental housing in West Lake or Summerville and drop you off as close to the patron gates as security allows. Inside our buses, your group can relax in reclining seats, review the day's pairings on your mobile devices using our onboard WiFi, and enjoy the climate-controlled environment before stepping out into the Georgia heat. We also handle airport transfers from Augusta Regional Airport (1501 Aviation Way, Augusta, GA 30906) or private shuttles from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson for large corporate groups flying in for the tournament. Don't let traffic ruin the most prestigious week in sports; let us handle the wheel.

Cheer on the Augusta GreenJackets at SRP Park

Just across the Savannah River in North Augusta lies one of the best minor league baseball experiences in the country. The Augusta GreenJackets, a Single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, play at the stunning SRP Park (187 Railroad Ave, North Augusta, SC 29841). This riverside stadium offers incredible views, great food, and an electric atmosphere that is perfect for group outings, company picnics, or family reunions. The area around the stadium, known as Riverside Village, is bustling with activity, making parking a challenge for large caravans of cars.

By booking a shuttle bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta, you eliminate the stress of finding multiple parking spots or coordinating meet-up times. We can drop your group right at the stadium entrance, allowing you more time to enjoy the pre-game festivities or grab a bite at the diverse concession stands. Whether you are bringing a Little League team to watch the pros or organizing a corporate team-building night at the ballpark, a private bus rental ensures everyone arrives together and gets home safely after the final out. Our buses offer plenty of storage for baseball gloves if you're hoping to catch a foul ball, and comfortable seating to relax after nine innings of excitement.

Support the Augusta University Jaguars

Augusta isn't just about pro sports; the collegiate spirit runs deep here. The Augusta University Jaguars compete in the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference, bringing high-level competition to the city. Basketball games at the Christenberry Fieldhouse (3109 Wrightsboro Rd, Augusta, GA 30909) are a local favorite, offering a high-energy environment that rivals larger Division I programs. Additionally, the university's golf team is historically one of the best in the nation, often producing future PGA stars.

If you are an alumni group, a student organization, or a visiting team, Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta provides the most reliable transportation to and from AU athletic events. We understand that student-athletes require specific amenities, which is why our full-size charter buses come equipped with ample undercarriage storage for equipment bags, uniforms, and medical kits. For fan groups, we offer the perfect way to tailgate and travel together. Avoid the scramble for parking on Wrightsboro Road and let a driver manage the logistics. We can even set up season-long transportation contracts for booster clubs ensuring you never miss a home game.

Conquer the IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta

Every September, thousands of athletes descend upon the city for the IRONMAN 70.3 Augusta, one of the largest half-distance triathlons in North America. The race begins with a swim in the Savannah River, followed by a bike ride through the rolling hills of Georgia and South Carolina, and finishes with a run through downtown Augusta. For triathlon clubs and support teams, the logistics of moving athletes, spectators, and expensive gear can be a nightmare.

Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta is uniquely equipped to handle the needs of triathlon participants. Our large motorcoaches have massive storage bays capable of transporting bicycles (when properly packed) and gear bags securely. We can shuttle your racing team from your hotel to the swim start at Ross's Landing and pick you up near the finish line at the Augusta Common (836 Reynolds St, Augusta, GA 30901). Spectators can also utilize our services to hop between transition areas to cheer on their athletes without getting stuck in road closures. Trust us to handle the transportation so you can focus on crossing the finish line.

Disc Golf and Outdoor Adventures at the IDGC

Did you know that the Augusta area is a global hub for disc golf? Located just a short drive from the city center in Appling, Georgia, is the International Disc Golf Center (3828 Dogwood Ln, Appling, GA 30802) located within Wildwood Park. This facility features three championship-level courses, the Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and a pro shop. It is a bucket-list destination for disc golf clubs from across the Southeast.

If you are organizing a tournament or a club trip to the IDGC, a charter bus rental is the best way to travel. The drive from downtown Augusta takes about 30 to 40 minutes, and keeping a large group together on rural roads can be difficult. A private minibus allows your group to strategize, discuss course layouts, and relax before hitting the chains. We can also provide transportation to other outdoor recreation spots, such as the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area for kayaking trips or the Forks Area Trail System (FATS) for mountain biking. Our buses have plenty of room for coolers, hiking gear, and change of clothes for after your adventure.

Road Trips to Atlanta and Athens

While Augusta has plenty of sports action, we are also perfectly situated for road trips to see major league and SEC powerhouses. Augusta is a stronghold for University of Georgia Bulldogs fans and Atlanta Falcons supporters. The drive to Sanford Stadium in Athens or Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is easily manageable with Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta. Driving on I-20 or backroads to Athens on a game day involves heavy traffic and expensive parking, which can dampen the spirit of the day.

When you rent a charter bus for an away game, the tailgate starts the moment you step on board. You can load up your tailgating tents, grills, and coolers in the undercarriage storage, while fans enjoy the ride with onboard TVs to watch pre-game coverage. Your driver acts as your designated driver for the entire day, ensuring everyone gets to the game and back to Augusta safely. Whether it’s a Saturday in Athens between the hedges or a Sunday in Atlanta rising up with the Falcons, we make the journey as exciting as the destination.

Tee Off at Augusta’s Best Public Courses

Since most of us won’t be teeing off at Augusta National anytime soon, groups of golfers visiting the city often look for accessible, high-quality alternatives. Augusta is home to several fantastic courses that welcome groups, such as the historic Forest Hills Golf Club (1500 Comfort Rd, Augusta, GA 30909), where Bobby Jones began his 1930 Grand Slam year. Another favorite is The River Golf Club (307 Riverside Blvd, North Augusta, SC 29841), which offers stunning views of the Savannah River and downtown Augusta.

Organizing a golf trip for a bachelor party, corporate retreat, or society outing requires coordinating tee times and transport for players and their clubs. Standard rideshares and rental cars often lack the trunk space for multiple golf bags. Our minibuses and charter buses are perfect for golf groups. We offer ample space for clubs and luggage, ensuring your irons and drivers are transported comfortably. Your driver can shuttle you from your hotel to the course, then to dinner at a steakhouse on Washington Road, and finally back to your accommodation, keeping the group together and on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Augusta Sports Transportation

Do your buses have enough storage for golf clubs and sports equipment?

Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with massive undercarriage storage bays specifically for luggage and large equipment. We regularly transport golf groups with full sets of clubs, football teams with pads and helmets, and bands with instruments. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space is more limited, usually restricted to overhead bins. When you call 803-853-1360, be sure to tell our reservation specialist exactly what kind of gear you are bringing so we can recommend the perfect bus size for your equipment needs.

How far in advance should I book for The Masters?

The Masters Tournament is the busiest week of the year for transportation in Augusta, and availability becomes extremely limited very quickly. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus for Masters week at least 6 to 9 months in advance. Prices are also subject to increase as the tournament draws closer due to high demand. By booking early, you secure your vehicle and ensure your group has a guaranteed ride for the tournament. If you are planning a last-minute trip, give us a call—we will always do our best to accommodate you, but early reservation is key for this major event.

Do you provide transportation to Atlanta or Columbia for away games?

Yes! Charter Bus Rental Company Augusta is a long-distance travel expert. We frequently shuttle fan groups, teams, and students to Atlanta, Athens, Columbia, SC, and beyond. Whether you are heading to see the Atlanta Braves, the South Carolina Gamecocks, or a tournament in Charlotte, we can take you there. Your bus rental is billed by the day or mileage for these longer trips, and your driver stays with your group to bring you back to Augusta after the event. It is the safest and most comfortable way to travel the I-20 corridor.
