Augusta's STR Market: Masters Week and Beyond
Augusta has 1,034+ active Airbnb listings and an average daily rate of $386 per night — the third-highest ADR in Georgia. That high average reflects the enormous pricing power of Masters week, when properties within reasonable distance of Augusta National Golf Club command rates that can be 10–20x normal nightly pricing. A single Masters week, managed correctly, can represent a significant portion of an entire year's rental income.
But Augusta's STR opportunity extends well beyond April. Augusta University Medical Center and the Augusta University Health System are major economic anchors generating consistent medical professional and family accommodation demand. Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon) — one of the U.S. Army's largest installations — creates year-round military personnel and contractor housing demand. And Augusta's growing status as a cybersecurity and technology hub is generating increasing corporate travel.
Masters Week: The Defining Opportunity
The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club is the most iconic event in golf — and for STR owners in Augusta, it's potentially the most valuable week of the year. Properties that are well-positioned, well-presented, and priced correctly can generate revenue during Masters week that rivals months of normal operation. Managing availability, minimum stays, cancellation policies, and pricing around Masters week requires expertise and advance planning that casual self-managers typically lack.
