East Cobb Marietta Neighborhood Highlight: Atlanta Country Club
October 25, 2008
Atlanta Country Club, situated on 260 acres of rolling hills is certainly one of north Atlanta’s finest private country club communities.
In the early 1960s business leader Jim Clay had a dream of building a world class golf course and bringing a PGA tour event to Atlanta. Jim achieved his goal by being the founder of Atlanta Country Club, which opened in 1964. Then, in 1967 the Atlanta Country Club began hosting the “Atlanta Classic.” This PGA tour event was held annually at Atlanta Country Club for thirty years, except for 1974 when Atlanta Country Club became the site for the inaugural Tournament Players Championship, won by Jack Nicklaus.
In addition to our involvement in professional golf the Atlanta Country Club has hosted many amateur events including the USGA Senior Amateur in 1968 and the USGA Women’s Amateur in 1971.
Located on 260 acres north of Atlanta, the picturesque rolling hills of the Atlanta Country Club are beautifully landscaped and surrounded by historic Civil War sites. The Chattahoochee River is nearby and historic Sope Creek meanders through the course.
