Fields Ferry Golf Club

Fields Ferry Golf Club sits in Calhoun, Georgia, in the northwestern corner of the state where the Appalachian foothills begin their descent toward the Piedmont. Arthur Davis designed the course, which opened in the mid-1990s as part of a residential community development. Davis, a regional architect active primarily in the Southeast during that era, worked within the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Georgia, routing holes through wooded corridors and across elevation changes that provide natural definition and variety to the layout. The course occupies land that transitions between hardwood forest and open meadow, with several holes playing along or near the Oostanaula River basin. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural movement, incorporating uphill and downhill shots that require golfers to manage both distance control and ball flight in relation to sloped fairways and greens. Water features appear on multiple holes, typical of courses built during this development period in the region. Fields Ferry serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, drawing golfers from Calhoun and the surrounding communities including Dalton and Rome. The course reflects the design priorities of its era—playable for a range of skill levels while offering enough length and strategic interest to challenge better players. The club provides standard amenities expected of a modern golf facility, with practice areas and a clubhouse serving the local golfing population in this part of northwest Georgia.
