Hamilton Mill at Hamilton Mill Golf Club

Hamilton Mill Golf Club sits in Dacula, a suburban community northeast of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. The course was designed by Fred Couples in collaboration with Gene Bates and opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential development. Bates, a Georgia-based architect who has worked on numerous courses throughout the Southeast, handled much of the design execution while Couples lent his playing perspective and name to the project.

The layout occupies rolling terrain typical of the Georgia Piedmont, with elevation changes that create variety in shot values and visual interest throughout the round. The routing incorporates natural wooded areas, streams, and wetlands that come into play on several holes. Bates and Couples shaped generous fairways with strategic bunkering that rewards positioning off the tee, while the greens feature moderate undulation and are protected by both sand and water hazards. The design reflects a player-friendly philosophy that accommodates a range of skill levels while still presenting challenge from the back tees.

Hamilton Mill functions as a semi-private facility, offering memberships while also welcoming outside play. The course serves both the surrounding residential community and visiting golfers in the greater Atlanta area. The property includes practice facilities and a clubhouse with dining options typical of modern golf developments in the region. The course has hosted various regional amateur events and remains a recognized layout within Georgia's competitive golf landscape.
