ATLANTA COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Marietta, GA, USA
Designed by Willard Byrd



Atlanta Country Club, the heart of golf in Marietta, stands as a testament to classic design principles and a membership deeply rooted in Atlanta's business and social fabric. Its heritage isn’t defined by dramatic championships, but rather by the steady hum of influential figures walking its fairways.
Crafted in the late 1920s, the course presents a more gentle challenge than some of its modern counterparts. Its parkland layout meanders through the rolling hills of Cobb County, favoring strategic play over sheer power. While not overly long by today's standards, mature trees lining the fairways and subtly contoured greens demand precise shot placement. A slight draw might be the preferred ball flight on several holes, but the true challenge lies in mastering the nuances of the sloping greens.
Willard Byrd significantly renovated the course in the late 1990s, adding length and modernizing the green complexes while preserving the original character. While ACC hasn’t hosted major championships, its prestige is derived from the influential Atlantans who frequent it.
And though it is not known for the golf, the members often enjoy a unique aspect of the club: the Friday night cocktail parties on the patio. It offers an opportunity to unwind and connect within the community. Its standing comes from an area that is a beacon of the area's who's who, providing a secluded enclave for golf, relaxation, and discreet networking.
