About this course

Windermere Golf Club in Cumming, Georgia, opened in 2000 as a Davis Love III design situated in the rolling terrain north of Atlanta. The course occupies land along Lake Sidney Lanier, with the routing taking advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of the Georgia Piedmont. Love's design philosophy emphasizes strategic options from the tee and approaches that reward thoughtful course management, characteristics evident throughout the layout at Windermere. The property features a mix of tree-lined holes and more open areas where water comes into play, reflecting the lake's proximity. The terrain provides natural movement in the fairways and creates varied stances and lies that test a player's ability to execute shots from uneven ground. Several holes incorporate significant elevation change, a feature that adds visual interest and strategic complexity to club selection and shot planning. Windermere operates as a private club serving the northern Atlanta suburbs, part of the residential development growth that characterized this area in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The course reflects the period's emphasis on championship-length layouts designed to challenge accomplished players while remaining accessible to members of varying skill levels. The conditioning and presentation align with expectations for upscale private clubs in the region, and the facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of its category. The course represents one of several Davis Love III designs in Georgia, where the former PGA Tour player and Georgia native has concentrated much of his architectural work.

Getting there

Windermere Golf Club lies in the rolling piedmont north of Atlanta, most easily accessed via Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), roughly an hour's drive to the southwest. The route north traces the arc of suburban expansion before yielding to the wooded ridges and lake-studded terrain of Forsooth County, where the landscape begins to hint at the approaching Appalachian foothills. As you leave the commercial corridors behind, the final approach winds through quiet residential enclaves and hardwood canopies, delivering you to Windermere's gates with the unhurried grace befitting one of Georgia's most private retreats.
