The original downtown club was located on Edgewood Avenue and through the ages twice outgrew its space and relocated. The Club added a golf course and country club at East Lake in 1915 and moved to the present Johns Creek location in the late 1960s. The club has been home to many great athletes, most notably Bobby Jones.

The club has played host to multiple major events and most recently hosted the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
