Fairfield Plantation sits in Villa Rica, Georgia, roughly thirty miles west of Atlanta in the rolling piedmont terrain characteristic of this part of the state. The course was designed by Willard Byrd, a respected regional architect whose work throughout the Southeast typically emphasized strategic shot values and routing that worked with natural land contours rather than against them. Byrd's designs from this era often featured tree-lined fairways, elevation changes, and greens that rewarded thoughtful approach play. The layout at Fairfield Plantation reflects these principles, moving through wooded corridors and incorporating the property's natural topography into the playing experience. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community, a common development model in suburban Atlanta during the period of its construction. Byrd's routing takes advantage of the available elevation shifts to create variety in hole character and visual interest from tee to green. The club operates as a private facility serving its membership and the surrounding community. Like many courses in the Atlanta metropolitan area, Fairfield Plantation provides a golf experience shaped by Georgia's climate and landscape—bermudagrass playing surfaces, mature hardwoods and pines defining holes, and terrain that offers both uphill and downhill lies. The course represents a typical example of quality regional design from its period, offering members a solid test of golf within a residential setting.
