Alfred "Tup" Holmes Golf Course

The Alfred "Tup" Holmes Golf Course sits in southwest Atlanta and serves as one of the city's municipal facilities. Designed by Garrett Gill and George B. Williams, the course reflects the mid-twentieth-century approach to accessible public golf that characterized many American cities' efforts to expand recreational opportunities. The layout works with the rolling piedmont terrain typical of the Atlanta region, where elevation changes and mature hardwoods shape the playing corridors. The course operates within Atlanta's parks system and provides golf to a diverse community of players. Its name honors Alfred "Tup" Holmes, a figure in Atlanta's civic or recreational history, though the specific details of his contributions are tied to local rather than national recognition. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels, a common priority for municipal courses intended to introduce new players to the game while still offering challenge to regular participants. The property features tree-lined fairways and greens that reflect the natural contours of the land. Water hazards and bunkers provide strategic interest without overwhelming the layout. As a public facility in a major metropolitan area, the course contributes to Atlanta's golf infrastructure and remains accessible to residents seeking affordable play in an urban setting.
