Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, the East Lake Golf Club stands as a testament to the rich history and tradition of the game of golf in the United States. This prestigious golf course, renowned for its challenging layout and impeccable greens, has been a cornerstone of the sport since its establishment in 1904.

The East Lake Golf Club is not just a sporting venue but a historical landmark, as it is the home course of the legendary golfer Bobby Jones. The club has played host to numerous significant golf tournaments over the years, including the Ryder Cup in 1963 and more recently, the TOUR Championship, which is the culminating event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs.

The course itself is a par 72, stretching over 7,346 yards. Its pristine fairways and fast, undulating greens offer a stern test to golfers of all skill levels. The signature hole, the par-3 6th, requires a precise tee shot over water to a well-guarded green, providing a memorable challenge for even the most seasoned players.

East Lake Golf Club is also distinguished by its commitment to philanthropy. It is the principal driver behind the East Lake Foundation, which strives to transform the surrounding area and improve the lives of its residents through education, affordable housing, and community wellness.

Visitors to East Lake Golf Club can expect a serene atmosphere accompanied by the southern charm for which Atlanta is known. The clubhouse, a stately Southern manor, offers a warm welcome and luxurious amenities, including dining areas where guests can indulge in classic cuisine while overlooking the hallowed greens.
