Brickyard Golf Club

The Brickyard Golf Club in Macon, Georgia, opened in the late 1990s as a Mark McCumber design. McCumber, a PGA Tour player who transitioned to course architecture, brought his competitive experience to this central Georgia layout. The course occupies former clay mining land, and the property's industrial past influences both its name and routing character, with the design incorporating elevation changes and exposed terrain features uncommon in the typically gentle topography of middle Georgia. The routing makes use of the site's varied ground, moving through areas of pine and hardwood forest alongside more open stretches where the mining history remains visible in the landforms. McCumber's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic options and playability across skill levels, with multiple teeing grounds and risk-reward scenarios built into hole designs. Water features appear on several holes, and the course presents a mix of doglegs and straightaway holes that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Brickyard serves as a daily-fee facility and has been part of Macon's public golf landscape for over two decades. The course provides a championship-length test from the back tees while remaining accessible to recreational players from forward positions. Its location in central Georgia places it within the state's substantial golf corridor, offering a McCumber design to a region more commonly associated with classic Southern parkland courses and newer residential developments.
