Country Club of the South

Country Club of the South's "Of the South" course is a Jack Nicklaus design that opened in the early 1990s in Johns Creek, an affluent suburb north of Atlanta. The course occupies rolling terrain typical of the Georgia Piedmont, with elevation changes, mature hardwoods, and several creeks threading through the property. Nicklaus routed the layout to take advantage of the natural topography, creating a parkland experience that emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length. The design features the hallmarks of Nicklaus's work from this period: generous fairway corridors that reward positioning, large undulating greens with multiple pin placements, and substantial bunkering that frames landing areas and green complexes. Water comes into play on several holes, though the course does not rely heavily on forced carries. The routing moves through varied terrain, with some holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into wooded valleys. Country Club of the South is a private equity club that developed as part of a larger residential community. The club has hosted regional amateur events and serves as a home course for members seeking a championship-caliber layout within the northern Atlanta suburbs. The facility includes additional golf amenities and has maintained a reputation as one of the more established private clubs in the Johns Creek area, which has seen significant growth and development since the course opened.
