Top 10 Georgia Courses You Can Play
As seen in LINKS Magazine By Joe Passov
Unfortunately for visiting golfers to Georgia, the host venue of the Tour Championship—East Lake Golf Club—is private, as are former Tour stops Atlanta Country Club, TPC Sugarloaf, and multiple-major-championship-host Atlanta Athletic Club. However, Atlanta and the rest of the Peach State boast a multitude of superb public-access layouts. Here are the 10 best courses you can play in Georgia.
Harbor Club, Greensboro
Don’t sleep on the Harbor Club. Its near neighbors may attract most of the limelight, but this 1991 Tom Weiskopf/Jay Morrish design easily earns its top-10 stripes thanks to its low-profile, 7,000-yard journey through wooded, lakeside terrain. The routing encompasses four creeks, several ponds, and encounters Lake Oconee on six occasions, notably at the 182-yard par-three 17th. The drivable 341-yard par-four 7th that skirts the lake is one of the region’s most exciting risk/reward holes.
