Druid Hills Golf Club

Donald Ross carved his magic into Atlanta's rolling piedmont terrain here in 1912, delivering elevated greens that punish wayward approach shots and reward precision iron play. The par-4 7th epitomizes Ross's genius—a dogleg right that demands a perfectly placed drive to avoid the creek, followed by an uphill approach to a severely sloped putting surface that rejects anything but pure strikes. This century-old layout remains a masterclass in strategic architecture, where local knowledge trumps raw power every time.
