Reviews
A true hidden gem in Atlanta. Atlanta’s oldest social club, founded in 1867 with amazing history and a top 5 golf course in the city. While very private, if you have an invite, say yes!
This place is very underrated. Beautiful, difficult Arthur Hills course in a relaxed environment with lots of history. Scenic property that feels very secluded. Some of the best private golf in Atlanta. Greens, fairways, and tee boxes are always excellent. Good staff, good practice facilities.
