Atlanta Country Club is a private, 18-hole golf course located in Marietta, GA, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta Country Club hosted the inaugural PGA tournament players championship in 1974 and was a regular stop on the tour for 20 years. The golf course consists of bentgrass greens, bermudagrass fairways and roughs, and zoysia grass tee boxes. This is a very exciting time for Atlanta Country Club as we are embarking on a complete golf course renovation set to begin in the fall of 2022 where we will be updating our grasses on the golf course, renovating the irrigation system, rebuilding bunkers, and installing hydronic technology for our greens to regulate soil temperatures.
