About this course
Berkeley Hills Country Club, carved into the rolling terrain of Duluth, Georgia, carries a legacy of Southern golf hospitality. The club, host to the Georgia Open, isn't defined by tournament history as much as it is by its loyal membership and the course's evolving character. Originally designed during the mid-20th century, the parkland layout presents a classic challenge: tree-lined fairways demand strategic shot-making, and subtly undulating greens reward thoughtful approaches. While not overly long by modern standards, the course features strategically placed bunkers and water hazards that can punish errant shots, particularly for those who favor a draw. Blind shots and deceptive doglegs add to the challenge, making course knowledge a decided advantage. Over the years, the course has seen subtle refinements, respecting the original design intent while enhancing playability for the modern game. Berkeley Hills remains a haven for traditionalists who appreciate a well-maintained, challenging course. Beyond the golf, Berkeley Hills is known within its community as much for the food as the fairways; the club's shrimp & grits is a longstanding staple and a point of pride for its membership after a round.

Getting there
Berkeley Hills Country Club is most readily accessed via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), one of the world's busiest hubs, situated roughly thirty miles south of the club; the drive north through Atlanta's northern suburbs typically takes forty-five minutes to an hour, threading through the transition from urban sprawl into the leafy, rolling terrain of Duluth. For those arriving by private aircraft, Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK) offers a considerably more intimate alternative, located just fifteen minutes from the club and favored by Atlanta's executive aviation community. The final miles unfold along tree-lined residential roads that climb gently into the verdant hills of North Fulton County, where Berkeley Hills Country Club emerges as a serene sanctuary of manicured fairways and classic Southern hospitality, a world apart from the metropolitan energy left behind.
