Day 1
Atlanta Atlanta is Georgia's capital and largest city. The city blends the Old South with the New South, which can be seen from the skyscrapers that fill downtown to the many prosperous restaurants, shops and businesses spread throughout the city. Downtown Atlanta includes the state capitol, city hall, corporate headquarters, Centennial Park, where the CNN Tour, Georgia Aquarium and the New World of Coca-Cola are located. Midtown is just north and is main business district, plus includes Piedmont Park, the Woodruff Arts Center, and the Georgia Tech campus. Buckhead is north of Midtown, and is the center of Atlanta's nightlife. You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc. Upon arrival at Atlanta airport you will be met by private vehicle and transfer to Chateau Elan. Meet your guide at the hotel check-in, who will be happy to assist with any of your needs. The guide will be able to assist you during the whole itinerary. Spend the evening at your leisure or try a pint of Guinness at Paddy’s Irish Pub (an authentic brick by brick replication of a Dublin Pub). Château Élan is like a mirage rising out of the early morning light, located 40 minutes north from Atlanta and set on 3,500 acres of manicured vineyards and meadows. The rolling hills and vistas of natural beauty act as the perfect setting for this 16th-century style French Chateau surrounded by the finest winery and some of the best golf courses in Georgia. Château Élan is a complete resort, where European luxury blends with Southern hospitality at the 274-room inn and spa with private villas, golf courses, and an equestrian centre. There is a subtle blend of sophistication that defines Chateau Elan from other world class properties - its uncompromising attention to detail, high standards of guest services and phenomenal golf are maintained without exception. Overnight at Château Élan. |

Day 2
Atlanta Meet in the hotel lobby in the morning for a 2 1/2 hours morning transfer to Augusta National. Breakfast will be served on board the coach and to ensure a speedy (and memorable!) arrival, a police escort will guides us through the traffic in Augusta. Upon arrival in Augusta you will receive a Master chair as a souvenir that you can use to stake out your preferred spot on the ground of Augusta National. This is the official Masters chair, the only type permitted on the grounds. Disembark at our hospitality facility (a classic southern-style mansion just around the corner from the main gates) for a brief orientation. Spend the rest of the day following your favorite world-class golfers across the pristine contours of the emerald course as they pursue the hallowed green jacket. Whether you choose to stake out the action at Amen Corner, take refuge under the towering pines at the 16th, or brave the crowds around the 18th to watch the final putt, we guarantee that it will be the experience of a lifetime. At the end of the day, make your way back to our hospitality facilities to escape the crowds and enjoy a bounty of food and refreshments at our constantly changing buffet. The plentiful array of fresh seafood, grilled meats, sandwiches on home-baked breads, local cheeses and an ongoing open bar is sure to satisfy even the most enthusiastic appetite. All beverages and meals are included in the cost. Overnight at Château Élan. |

Day 3
Atlanta Sleep in this morning and then tee off at The Chateau Course for a round of 18 holes. This beautiful 7,030 yard, par 71 course, with contoured fairways, three lakes and two creeks opened in July, 1989. Designed by Denis Griffiths, the championship layout was instantly recognized as one of the top courses in Georgia. Water comes into play on ten of the 18 holes while 87 bunkers lend challenge and character to the lush fairways and bent grass greens. Ranked in the Zagat Survey’s America’s Best Golf Courses with "Very Good to Excellence" scores in all categories. A real find north of Atlanta "crisscrossed by hidden creaks" and bumping along on "hills aplenty", the namesake course is "a solid challenge for any skill level." This afternoon, take in the final "back nine on Sunday" at the Masters and enjoy a few pints in the comfort of Paddy's Irish Pub. Overnight at Château Élan. |
