Peachtree is the gold standard in Atlanta. The place oozes with golf and southern history. Good luck getting in if you weren’t 3x legacy at UGA or a mid-am stud. The entire place is amazing and the conditions would rival those of ANGC.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s layout rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Layout is the layout score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs layout ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Atlanta, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
