Notable tournaments

1930 Southeastern Open
Bobby Jones began his famous 1930 Grand Slam of Golf in 1930 with a win in the Southeastern Open, which was played with two rounds on the Augusta Country Club and two at Forest Hills. He fired a third-round 69 and final-round 71 to clinch his first major of the year by 13 strokes over Horton Jones, and subsequently went on to have a banner year on tour by sweeping the four majors in the same calendar year.
3M Augusta Invitational
Called the Insperity Augusta State Invitational and the Augusta State Invitational in the past, Forest Hills has hosted all but three editions of Augusta University's men's golf tournament since 1979. It has featured players such as Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, Dustin Johnson, Justin Leonard, and Charles Howell III. It rates as one of the top tournaments in the nation, drawing 13 top-50 teams in 2013 - including then-No. 1 Texas - and eight of the final top 50 in 2012.
AU has won the tournament 13 times, with no other team securing more than the University of North Carolina's three.
