Belle Meade Country Club

Belle Meade Country Club sits in Thomson, Georgia, a small city in the eastern part of the state between Augusta and Athens. The course was designed by Boone A. Knox with input from Nick Price, the three-time major champion from Zimbabwe who has been involved in a number of design projects since his playing career. The collaboration brings together Knox's regional design experience and Price's competitive insights from decades on the PGA Tour. The routing takes advantage of rolling terrain typical of this part of Georgia's piedmont region, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in shot-making and strategic interest. The design incorporates wooded corridors and open areas, with water features coming into play on several holes. The layout reflects Price's emphasis on playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge from the back tees, a philosophy he has carried into his design work. Belle Meade serves as a private club for the Thomson community and surrounding area. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities that support member play and social activities. The course fits within the tradition of regional country clubs in Georgia that anchor their communities, providing a home course for local golfers while reflecting the landscape and character of the area. Thomson itself is known as the "Camellia City of the South" and sits along the fall line that separates the piedmont from the coastal plain.
