proximity to downtown
and walking
non-development layouts
Owned
by the City of
Atlanta
and managed by American Golf, North Fulton is one of
the most convenient courses to downtown
Atlanta
and Buckhead, and offers some of the metro area's most
affordable prices, with a traditional layouts that can
easily be walked and enough challenge to keep better
players interested while appealing to those of modest
abilities.
North
Fulton is one of Atlanta's busiest courses, owing to its
prime location at
Chastain
Park
and the quality of its layout, which has held up over the
years. At a little over 6,500 yards from the back tees,
it is no longer lengthy by modern standards, but the white
tees measure 6,300 yards, which is very reasonable for a par
71. While the layout hasn't changed appreciably over the
years, the routing definitely has, with holes changing
numbers on several occasions.
The
course is relatively open off the tee, but there are enough
holes where errant tee shots will be penalized to keep
you honest. There are a handful of very strong par 4s, most
notably the 15th, one of a several holes that require
appraoch shots over a creek, and the long, uphill 18th,
still among the area's most demanding finishing holes.
Although none of the par 5s have much length, all three
present problems for those who don't hit it straight or
choose the wrong club when nearing the hazards that
cross two of the fairways. A solid test tee to green and a
testament to traditional layouts of a bygone era.

Michael Thomas / Tucker
Great
place to play any time of the year. It's very convenient for
executives working in
Atlanta
with reasonable prices.
Steve Pejza / Atlanta
Great
layout offers challenge to any amateur and enjoyable to
play. The club house crew and starter were very pleasant and
willing to work with you.
James Wood /
Norcross
Great little
course, but gets packed on weekends. Get there early and
avoid at least 30 minute wait.
Larry Reese / Atlanta
This
is the best of the city courses if you're looking for a true
to length golf course. The others are far better suited to
the beginner to intermediate player. |
