Laurel Springs at Laurel Springs Golf Club

Laurel Springs Golf Club opened in 1995 as a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design in Suwanee, a northern suburb of Atlanta. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, with elevation changes that provide natural variety and strategic interest throughout the routing. Nicklaus incorporated the property's mature hardwoods and native vegetation into the design, creating tree-lined corridors that define holes while preserving the landscape's established character.

The layout features the hallmarks of Nicklaus's design philosophy from this period: generous landing areas that reward accurate driving, large undulating greens that demand precise approach play, and strategic bunkering positioned to challenge better players while offering recovery options for others. Water comes into play on several holes, typically as lateral hazards rather than forced carries, and the green complexes often feature multiple tiers that make club selection and distance control critical.

Laurel Springs operates as a private club serving the northern Atlanta suburbs, part of the residential development that grew rapidly in Gwinnett County during the 1990s. The course provides a championship test from the back tees while remaining playable for members across skill levels through its multiple tee configurations. The property benefits from its location in one of metro Atlanta's more established golf communities, where the maturing landscape has enhanced the course's aesthetic and playing character over nearly three decades.
