Golfers Guide Atlanta Golf Course Stories

North Fulton Course was first designed in 1937 by Chandler Egan in collaboration with Walter Hagen and Atlanta's greatest golfer, Bobby Jones. Located in the heart of Chastain Park, Atlanta's largest park, North Fulton Golf Course is situated on the site of an ancient Creek Indian Village.

The golf course is also formerly home of a pre-Masters PGA Tournament and the National Public Links Tournament. Consistently rated Atlanta's top public course, North Fulton features a scenic view of the Buckhead skyline that can be seen from many of its rolling fairways.

The par 4, 446-yard No.18 is one of the most difficult holes in Atlanta that requires a well-placed tee shot down a narrow fairway with a creek looming on the left. The second shot presents an uphill strike to an undulating green with a bunker guarding closely on the left.

Browns Mill Golf Course was originally designed by George Cobb, who designed the par three course at Augusta National. Conveniently located, Browns Mill is only 10 minutes from downtown Atlanta. The 18 hole, open design course measures 6500 yards.

The front nine offers three small lakes that will occasionally grab a wayward ball. The signature hole on the front nine is a 435-yard par-4 with a thirty degree incline from tee to green. Many golfers walk away from this one with a bogey and a smile.
