About this course
Summer Grove, nestled in the rolling countryside of Newnan, Georgia, is a testament to accessible golf, offering a challenging yet fair test for players of all abilities. Carved from former farmland, the course exhibits classic parkland characteristics, with mature hardwoods framing generous fairways. While demanding strategy, its open nature encourages aggressive play. Architect Denis Griffiths designed Summer Grove to be both playable and visually appealing, emphasizing the natural contours of the land. Subtle undulations around the greens require thoughtful approaches, while strategically placed bunkers penalize errant shots. The course rewards intelligent course management over sheer power, making it a favorite among those who appreciate a well-designed layout. While not a stop on the professional circuit, Summer Grove is a hub for local tournaments and friendly competitions. The club fosters a welcoming atmosphere where casual golfers and competitive players alike find camaraderie and enjoyment. After a round, the clubhouse is known for its generous southern hospitality, and while there is no signature food, conversations invariably turn to friendly wagers won and lost on the 18th.

Getting there
Most visitors to Summer Grove Golf Club arrive through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world's busiest hub, located roughly 45 minutes northeast of the property. The drive southwest along Interstate 85 gradually sheds the sprawl of metro Atlanta, giving way to the rolling piedmont terrain and quiet horse country that defines Coweta County. As the highway yields to two-lane roads lined with hardwoods and pastureland, the transition feels deliberate - a passage from the urgency of the city into the unhurried grace of Georgia's rural heartland, where Summer Grove awaits as a secluded retreat among the pines.
