Book early, and look across the river
North Augusta itself has a limited number of hotels, and the Peach Jam fills them. Most teams and families spread out across the Savannah River into Augusta, Georgia, along the Washington Road and Riverwatch Parkway areas, or east to Aiken. Book refundable rooms as soon as your team's spot is likely, and choose a hotel with free parking, because you will drive to the gym each day.
Dates and 6 rooms prefilled. Change them in the booking card.
Flying in
Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is the closest airport. Many families find better fares into Atlanta, about two and a half hours away by car, or Columbia, and drive. If you fly in, book the rental car when you book the flight; July demand is high.
The same playbook works for any AAU event
Peach Jam is the best-known grassroots event, but club basketball runs on weekend tournaments all spring and summer. The pattern is the same everywhere:
- Check whether the event requires approved hotels before you book.
- Hold refundable rooms for the whole roster as soon as the schedule is out.
- Let families book their own rooms near the team hotel.
- Share one itinerary with gym addresses and game times, and update it as brackets change.
The GroupVoy planner builds that itinerary and sends it on WhatsApp.
