Augusta National is a very challenging experience for me. Everywhere I turn is a reminder of a moment in golf history. It’s sensory overload and it’s very distracting. The greens are mesmerizing and I could spend hours on each one.

Peachtree is the gold standard in Atlanta. The place oozes with golf and southern history. Good luck getting in if you weren’t 3x legacy at UGA or a mid-am stud. The entire place is amazing and the conditions would rival those of ANGC.

Lookout is a scruffy mountainside Raynor that with a little more time post their renovation by Kyle Franz and Tyler Rae, is going to be on everyone’s bucket list that doesn’t already have it. You get massive green complexes and the ability to feed balls into pins off huge slopes.

This place is a hidden gem with a long and storied history. Byron Nelson won here. Eisenhower decided to run for president after making it up the steep climb on 18 without losing his breath. Mason Howell, ‘25 US Am Champ, plays here as does ‘23 US Women’s Am champ.

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.

What a great property Donald Ross did a great job with the land. Brian Silva did a great job with the bunker and green restoration. And the change from Bent to Bermuda made the course play firm and fast , even after a rain

All of the par 3s are so good. Great mix in of risk/reward par 4s. The renovated green complexes are excellent & make for some great approaches/chip shots. The customer service is top notch.

Champions Retreat (Island/Bluff 9) is a sneaky good golf course. Always in excellent condition, with fast greens that make you think. I also love the atmosphere around the clubhouse, where all the buildings sit close together and create a little village feel.
