White Oak Golf Club





About this course
White Oak Golf Club sits in Newnan, a historic town southwest of Atlanta in the rolling Piedmont region of west-central Georgia. The course was designed by Joe Lee, a prolific architect who shaped more than 250 courses across his career, many in the Southeast and Florida, with later work by Rocky Roquemore, a Georgia-based designer known for his regional projects and course renovations. The collaboration reflects a blend of Lee's mid-century design sensibilities with Roquemore's understanding of Georgia golf landscapes. The layout occupies gently rolling terrain typical of the Georgia Piedmont, where elevation changes are modest but sufficient to create variety in lies and approach angles. Mature hardwoods and pines frame many holes, and the routing likely incorporates natural drainage corridors and existing tree lines to define playing corridors. Lee's designs from this era generally favored playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic bunkering and green contours that reward thoughtful course management. White Oak serves as a private club for the Newnan community, offering members a traditional country club experience with golf as the centerpiece. The club's setting in a smaller Georgia city gives it a local, community-oriented character rather than the resort or high-profile tournament atmosphere of larger metropolitan clubs. The course provides a familiar test for regular play, with conditioning and design features suited to year-round golf in the humid subtropical climate of west Georgia.

Getting there
The journey to White Oak Golf Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest hub, followed by a straightforward forty-minute drive southwest into the rolling piedmont countryside beyond metro Atlanta's sprawl. The route traces I-85 before peeling off into Coweta County, where suburban density gives way to pastoral Georgia horse country and stands of the namesake white oaks that define the region. For those arriving by private aircraft, Newnan Coweta County Airport sits just minutes from the club, offering a discreet gateway to one of the South's most guarded golfing sanctuaries.
