Month to go to a golf course in America (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

augusta

'golf course in america' is the definition.
(golf course in Georgia, USA)

'month to go to a' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'august' (August is an example).
'to go to' says to put letters next to each other.
'august'+'a'='AUGUSTA'

(Other definitions for augusta that I've seen before include "Masters course" , "City of Georgia" , "Scene of annual US" , "Place in Georgia" , "Graham Greene's travelling aunt" .)
