Ansley Golf Club - Midtown Atlanta

Ansley Golf Club's Midtown course occupies a distinctive urban setting in the heart of Atlanta, where the city skyline forms a backdrop to play. The course was designed by Stewart Maiden, the Scottish professional who served as head professional at East Lake Country Club and is best remembered as Bobby Jones's primary instructor and mentor. Maiden's design work reflects the straightforward, strategic principles of early 20th-century golf architecture. The routing makes efficient use of limited acreage in a densely developed area, with holes that move through mature tree-lined corridors. The topography features the rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, and elevation changes factor into club selection and strategy throughout the round. The layout emphasizes accuracy and course management over pure length, with tree placement and green contours providing the primary defensive elements. Ansley Golf Club maintains two courses, with the Midtown layout serving as the shorter, more accessible option compared to the club's Settindown Creek facility located north of the city. The alternate tees referenced here allow for varied yardages and playing experiences on the same routing, accommodating different skill levels and providing members with flexibility in their daily rounds. The club has long been part of Atlanta's golf tradition, with a membership drawn from the city's business and professional communities. Its central location makes it a convenient option for members seeking quality golf without leaving the metropolitan area.
