About this course

Houston Lake Country Club sits in Perry, Georgia, a small city in the central part of the state roughly midway between Macon and the Florida border. The course was designed by O. C. Jones, a regional architect active primarily in Georgia during the mid-twentieth century. Jones designed several courses across the state, typically working with the rolling terrain and pine-dominated landscapes characteristic of middle Georgia. The layout at Houston Lake takes advantage of the natural topography found in this part of the state, where gentle elevation changes and mature tree corridors define playing corridors. The course is built around Houston Lake itself, which comes into play on several holes and provides both strategic interest and scenic backdrop. Pine and hardwood trees frame fairways, and the design reflects the straightforward, member-friendly approach common to many Southern country club courses from this era. Houston Lake Country Club serves as a traditional private club for the Perry community and surrounding area. The club provides a social and recreational hub typical of country clubs in smaller Southern cities, with golf as the central amenity alongside dining and family programming. The course offers a comfortable test for members of varying skill levels, balancing playability with enough challenge to maintain interest over repeated rounds. Perry's location along Interstate 75 makes the club accessible to members from nearby towns and cities in the region.

Getting there

Houston Lake Country Club sits in the quiet farmland south of Macon, most easily reached via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL), roughly ninety minutes north, or the closer Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) in Macon, a straightforward thirty-minute drive away. From either hub, the route descends through rolling Georgia countryside—past pecan groves and red-clay fields—before turning onto the rural roads that frame Perry's horse country landscape. The final miles wind through pastoral terrain dotted with white-fenced pastures and tree-lined drives, a gentle deceleration from the interstate that signals arrival in one of central Georgia's most understated golfing sanctuaries. Houston Lake Country Club emerges as a private oasis where the transition from highway to home turf feels as natural as the Georgia landscape itself.
