Rock Garden/Orchard Course
Newnan, GA, USA



Orchard Hills Golf Club, nestled in the rolling Georgia terrain of Newnan, began with a vision rooted in challenging the everyday golfer. The Rock Garden and Orchard nines, though not nationally prominent, were meticulously crafted to present a strategic test, favoring the thinking player over sheer power. The 18-hole course rewards thoughtful approaches and deft touch around the greens, an attribute the long time members value. Designed to meld seamlessly with the southern landscape, Rock Garden/Orchard exhibits a blend of parkland aesthetics with subtle undulations that demand careful club selection. The routing features a mix of doglegs and deceptively placed bunkers that can penalize even the most seasoned golfer who misses their spot. While not known for excessive length, the course requires golfers to navigate tight fairways and carefully considered shots to avoid the numerous water hazards that come into play on several holes. The original design emphasizes playability for golfers of all skill levels, while still providing a stern test for those seeking a challenge. The course’s reputation among local players is as a challenging but fair test of golf in a tranquil, natural setting. The club is known for its understated and welcoming atmosphere, and known for its fried catfish.
