About this course
Druid Hills, tucked within its namesake Atlanta neighborhood, whispers tales of Bobby Jones, a frequent player in his formative years. This classic parkland design, originally conceived by Herbert Barker in the early 20th century, unfolds over gently rolling terrain dotted with mature hardwoods. The layout, while not exceedingly long, favors strategic play. Doglegs and subtly contoured greens reward thoughtful club selection and precise approach shots, rather than brute force. Though Druid Hills hasn't hosted major professional championships, its heritage resonates deeply within Atlanta's golfing circles. The club maintains a strong sense of community, fostering a membership drawn to the course's understated elegance and the camaraderie found on its fairways. The course is known to be a tight play that requires great accuracy. Its difficulty can get the best of some golfers, with the back tees a challenge for even the best players. It is also known for its men's locker room, said to be one of the best in the region. Beyond the golf, the club is known for its social gatherings and family events, fostering a strong sense of community. And while no specific signature dish defines the culinary experience, the club's dining facilities offer a welcoming atmosphere for members to gather after a round and enjoy each other's company.
