About this course

The Georgia Club's Black Course is a Denis Griffiths design located in Statham, Georgia, northeast of Atlanta in the rolling piedmont terrain characteristic of this part of the state. Griffiths, a British architect who has worked extensively in the southeastern United States, routed the course through wooded landscape with natural elevation changes that provide variety in hole character and strategic options. The property's topography allows for both elevated and valley settings, creating visual interest and requiring thoughtful club selection throughout the round. The Georgia Club operates as a private residential community with multiple courses, and the Black Course serves as one of the primary championship layouts within the development. The design incorporates the region's native hardwoods and pines, with fairways that move through corridors of mature trees. Water features appear on several holes, typical of courses built in this area during the development era when such amenities were standard. The bunkering style and green complexes reflect Griffiths' approach to creating playable yet challenging golf for a range of skill levels. The course provides a traditional country club experience within a gated community setting. Members have access to practice facilities and clubhouse amenities that support regular play and social activities. The Black Course, along with the club's other layouts, contributes to the overall golf program that defines the community's recreational character.

Getting there

The journey to The Georgia Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northeast into the rolling piedmont countryside beyond the city's sprawl. The route traces Interstate 85 through suburban Athens before peeling off onto quieter state roads that wind through horse farms and hardwood groves, the landscape softening into the kind of pastoral Georgia that feels a world apart from the capital's hum. For members arriving by private aircraft, Athens-Ben Epps Airport provides a discreet gateway just twenty minutes from the gates, where the final approach follows tree-canopied lanes that reveal little until the clubhouse emerges - a low-slung, understated sanctuary built into the natural folds of the land.
