About this course

The Country Club of Gwinnett sits in Snellville, a suburban community northeast of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. Designed by Steve Melnyk and opened in the mid-1990s, the course reflects the work of an architect who played competitive golf at the University of Florida before turning to course design. Melnyk's portfolio includes several layouts across the Southeast, typically characterized by strategic bunkering and greens that reward thoughtful approach play. The routing works with the rolling piedmont terrain common to this part of Georgia, where elevation changes are moderate but sufficient to create variety in stance and shot selection. Tree-lined fairways frame most holes, and water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses built during this era in the Atlanta suburbs. The layout offers a balance of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes, designed to challenge skilled players while remaining accessible to members of varying abilities. As a private country club, the facility serves the residential communities of eastern Gwinnett County and provides a traditional club experience with golf as the centerpiece. The membership draws from families and professionals in the area, and the club functions as both a recreational and social hub. The course conditions and pace of play reflect the priorities of a member-owned operation focused on consistent playability rather than tournament preparation.

Getting there

The journey to Country Club of Gwinnett begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest hub, located roughly thirty miles southwest of the club. From there, the drive northeast traces the gradual transition from Atlanta's urban sprawl into the rolling, wooded terrain of Gwinnett County, typically requiring forty-five minutes to an hour depending on the familiarity of I-85's rhythm. The final miles peel away from the interstate onto quieter roads that wind through established neighborhoods and stands of Georgia pine, delivering you to the club's discreet entrance in Snellville - a serene pocket of the metro area where the city's hum fades into something altogether more refined.
