Seminole/Choctaw Course
Indian Hills Country Club



About this course
Indian Hills Country Club's Seminole/Choctaw routing represents Joe Lee's work in the rolling terrain of Marietta, a northern suburb of Atlanta. Lee, a prolific designer who worked extensively throughout the Southeast during the mid-to-late twentieth century, created numerous courses in Georgia that adapted to the region's characteristic topography of hardwood forests and elevation changes. The property sits within the piedmont landscape typical of this part of the state, where designers work with natural contours rather than dramatic manufactured features. The course name reflects a dual-nine configuration, with the Seminole and Choctaw nines combining to form one of the club's eighteen-hole layouts. This naming convention suggests the club operates multiple nine-hole loops, a format Lee employed at several facilities to provide routing variety and accommodate different membership play patterns. The design likely incorporates the wooded, residential character common to established Atlanta-area clubs from this era, where tree-lined fairways and elevated greens take advantage of natural grade changes. Indian Hills functions as a traditional private country club serving the Marietta community, with golf as the central amenity alongside typical club facilities. The course reflects the accessible, member-focused design philosophy Lee brought to many of his projects—layouts intended for regular play rather than championship examination, emphasizing playability across skill levels while maintaining strategic interest through thoughtful use of the existing landscape.

Getting there
The journey to Indian Hills Country Club begins at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), one of the world's busiest hubs, situated roughly twenty miles south of the club; from there, a straightforward thirty-minute drive north through Atlanta's northern suburbs carries you into the rolling terrain of Cobb County, where the urban sprawl gradually yields to tree-lined residential neighborhoods and the quieter rhythms of Marietta. Private aviation clients will find Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK) a more intimate alternative, positioned even closer to the club's Marietta location. The final miles unfold along local roads that wind past established estates and manicured grounds, a gentle transition that signals arrival in one of Georgia's most prestigious golfing addresses, where the club's understated entrance and Southern hospitality await.
