Lake Spivey Golf Club

Lake Spivey Golf Club sits in Jonesboro, Georgia, approximately twenty miles south of Atlanta, in a suburban setting defined by the lake that gives the course its name. Designed by D. J. DeVictor, the layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, with elevation changes that provide natural contours and strategic interest throughout the round. The course incorporates Lake Spivey itself into several holes, creating both visual appeal and tactical considerations for approach shots and tee balls. DeVictor's routing takes advantage of the property's wooded corridors and lakeside exposure, balancing risk-reward opportunities with straightforward holes that reward accurate ball-striking. The presence of water on multiple holes requires thoughtful club selection and course management, particularly on par threes and shorter par fours where the lake comes directly into play. Mature trees frame many fairways, demanding position off the tee while still allowing recovery options for skilled players. The club serves a membership drawn primarily from the southern Atlanta suburbs, functioning as a community-oriented facility with both golf and social amenities centered around the lake setting. Lake Spivey represents a regional course that reflects mid-to-late twentieth-century suburban golf development in the Atlanta area, offering a familiar test for local players who value accessibility and a well-maintained layout integrated into a residential landscape.
