Great club! They organize and host the annual Head of the South, one of the largest regattas in the nation. HOTS was well ran, with plenty of porter potties for both athletes and spectators. As for parking, I do recommend arriving early, since you may have to park far down on the grass. There was also a good amount of green space to set up a tent for our club and plenty of rowing and food vendors to browse and purchase from. A cool fact, the Savannah River they row on is Georgia on one side, where the club is located, and South Carolina on the opposite bank. read more

I went to check out this place with minimal rowing experience (aka Boy Scout camp and what I've seen on television). I was ready to be intimidated, but thankfully the exact opposite happened. It is off 5th Street, but you have to go back a little ways to get to the actual location. The building is deceiving in size, as you will find out soon enough. In the bottom are where the different sized row boats are stored. As a member, this is where you get to store your boat and oars. Then there is a gym and row machine. The gym area looks out over Savannah River, which is a beautiful view. The row machine is great for teaching one how to learn to row in sync (I soon learned I needed more practice in that area). You have a second floor where there is a dining area (available for rental by Club members) looking over the river and a balcony. The point person walked me through not only the location, but the overall experience rowing. It was also interesting to learn that the 1996 US Olympic Row Team trained here. My lack of knowledge in this area was not held against me and I hope to join in the new year. *Insider's Tip -If you are new to the world of rowing, go to a intro day. They do them once or twice a year and it is a great first step into this. -Also, once you pass a certain level of training you can come on your own whenever you want. That's any day and any time. I like that. read more

Augusta Rowing Club - A peaceful way to spend a Saturday morning. - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I showed up today with my daughter and a few of her friends to try a juniors learn to row class. The was a slight mix up and the class is actually the following week. No problem. Two of the members were rowing and offered to give us a tour. They showed us under the boathouse (which has a dining room) where all the boats are stored for members. We walked through the gym which over looks the river. Kirsten and Tom even gave an impromptu lesson on the mock boat they have in the gym. My daughter and her friends were able to see what it would feel like to be in a boat and learn to row in sync. The club seems really cool and Kirsten and Tom are good people. I definitely look forward to taking a few classes here. read more
