About this course
North Fulton Golf Course, a beloved public haven nestled within Atlanta's Chastain Park, began as a 9-hole layout during the Great Depression, providing respite and recreation amidst hardship. Later expanded to 18 holes, its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility and connection to the community. The course's gently rolling terrain characterizes its play, typical of parkland courses carved from the Georgia clay. Generous fairways provide some forgiveness off the tee, but strategically placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes around the greens demand a thoughtful approach. Though not exceptionally long, North Fulton rewards strategic play over brute power, a characteristic enhanced by subtle doglegs that favor a measured approach. While not a championship venue, North Fulton has long served as a vital training ground for local golfers and a welcoming space for beginners. Its modest greens fees and convenient location make it a popular choice for those seeking an accessible and enjoyable round in the heart of the city. The snack bar, known for its quick bites and cold beverages, is a regular stop on the course and a favorite amongst golfers.

Getting there
North Fulton Golf Course sits just north of Atlanta's urban core, accessible via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), one of the world's busiest hubs, typically a 25- to 35-minute drive depending on traffic patterns along I-75 North or the quieter surface roads through Buckhead.

The final miles unfold through the leafy residential neighborhoods and tree-lined corridors of north Atlanta, a gentle transition from the city's energy into the refined, established character of the club's setting. North Fulton Golf Course emerges as a serene urban sanctuary, where mature oaks and manicured fairways provide a welcome respite from the metropolitan landscape that surrounds it.
