Countryland Golf Course




About this course
Countryland Golf Course sits in Cumming, Georgia, roughly thirty miles north of Atlanta in the rolling terrain of Forsyth County. Designed by Mike Young and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies land that transitions between piedmont hardwood forest and open pasture, typical of the region's topography before suburban expansion. Young, a Georgia-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the Southeast, routed the layout to incorporate natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define individual holes while maintaining a parkland character. The course plays through a mix of tree-lined fairways and more open stretches where strategy depends on positioning rather than forced carries. Water features appear on several holes, and the greens exhibit moderate undulation consistent with Young's design approach during this period. The layout accommodates a range of skill levels, with multiple tee boxes that adjust both length and angle of approach. Countryland operates as a public facility serving the northern Atlanta suburbs, an area that has seen considerable residential and commercial growth over the past three decades. The course provides accessible golf in a region where daily-fee options have become increasingly important as population density has increased. Its location along major transportation corridors makes it a practical choice for local golfers seeking a straightforward round without the formality or expense of private club membership.

Getting there
Most visitors to Countryland Golf Course arrive via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, roughly an hour's drive south through the northern arc of metro Atlanta's suburban sprawl. The route traces Georgia 400 northward into Forsyth County, where the congestion gradually loosens and the landscape begins its gentle roll toward the foothills of the Blue Ridge. As the highway yields to local roads near Cumming, the transition is quiet and unhurried - a shift from the hum of the city into the wooded, lake-dotted terrain that defines this corner of North Georgia, where Countryland awaits as an understated retreat from the capital's reach.
