The Manor Golf and Country Club

The Manor Golf and Country Club sits in Milton, Georgia, a town in the northern suburbs of Atlanta known for its rolling terrain and preserved rural character. The course was designed by Tom Watson, the eight-time major championship winner who has applied his competitive insights to a modest portfolio of design work since the 1990s. Watson's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic options and rewards thoughtful course management over pure length, reflecting his own playing style during a Hall of Fame career. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography common to this part of north Fulton County, where elevation changes and mature hardwood forests shape the playing corridors. Watson's layouts generally feature generous fairway widths but place a premium on positioning for approach shots, with green complexes that demand precision and understanding of angles. The course serves a private membership drawn from Milton and the surrounding Atlanta communities. The Manor operates as a country club offering the traditional range of amenities beyond golf, including tennis, swimming, and dining facilities. The club reflects the character of Milton itself—a community that has maintained a semi-rural identity despite proximity to metropolitan Atlanta. For members, the course provides a home layout that rewards local knowledge and repeat play, with subtleties in green contours and approach angles that reveal themselves over time.
