Red at The Georgia Club

The Georgia Club's Red Course is a Denis Griffiths design located in Statham, Georgia, roughly an hour northeast of Atlanta in the rolling piedmont countryside. Griffiths, a British architect who worked extensively in the United States during the 1990s and 2000s, routed the course through terrain characteristic of the region—gently rolling hills with mature hardwoods and natural elevation changes that provide both strategic interest and visual variety throughout the round.

The layout takes advantage of the property's natural topography, incorporating elevation shifts into the design strategy. Griffiths typically favored courses that rewarded thoughtful play over pure distance, and the Red Course reflects this philosophy with strategic bunkering and green complexes that demand accuracy on approach shots. The routing moves through wooded corridors and more open areas, creating a varied playing experience that tests different aspects of a golfer's game.

The Georgia Club operates as a private residential golf community, with the Red Course serving as one of the primary amenities for members and residents. The club's setting in the Georgia piedmont provides a peaceful, wooded environment distinct from the more urban golf experiences closer to Atlanta. The course conditions and maintenance reflect the standards typical of upscale private clubs in the region, with bentgrass greens and bermudagrass fairways suited to the local climate.
