The Atlanta Athletic Club has revealed plans for a significant renovation of its Highlands Course, scheduled to begin in 2028. The redesign will be managed by renowned architect Andrew Green and aims to enhance the club’s golfing experience while improving its facilities overall. This renovation is part of a larger capital funding strategy and reflects the club’s commitment to maintaining its prestigious status in the golfing community. The project’s commencement coincides with notable upcoming events, promising to redefine the club’s legacy.
Exciting news is on the horizon for golf enthusiasts and club members alike! The Atlanta Athletic Club (AAC) has announced plans for a significant renovation of its esteemed Highlands Course, set to kick off in 2028. This ambitious project is part of a long-term capital funding master plan that has received enthusiastic support from the club’s dedicated membership.
The renovation will be overseen by the talented golf course architect Andrew Green of AH Green Design. Green is no stranger to high-profile projects, having successfully transformed several prestigious courses across the country. His portfolio includes renowned venues such as the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, the Oak Hill Country Club’s East Course in Rochester, New York, and Congressional Country Club’s Blue Course in Bethesda, Maryland. With such a remarkable track record, expectations are high for the upcoming renovation.
Work on the planning phase will commence in the near future, with construction slated to begin in early 2028. This timing aligns perfectly with charismatic milestones, including the upcoming U.S. Girls Junior Championship scheduled for July 2023 at the Riverside Course, which just recently underwent its own successful renovation.
The Highlands Course has a storied past, having hosted several major championships over the years. Some highlights include:
This latest renovation represents a strategic step toward enhancing the club’s offerings, extending beyond just the famous golf courses. The club is also investing in improvements for its tennis, athletic, and dining facilities, creating a more holistic experience for its members.
The AAC has gained recognition within the golfing community, as the Highlands Course currently ranks No. 8 on Golfweek’s Best list of top private clubs in Georgia and ties for No. 129 among modern courses nationwide. These accolades speak to the prestige of the club, founded in 1898 and established in its current location since 1969.
Future events to look forward to include hosting the U.S. Amateur in 2030, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Bobby Jones’ Grand Slam victories, and the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship set for the Highlands Course in 2035. These events are pivotal moments for the club, further solidifying its status as a premier golfing destination.
The Highlands Course originally opened as a 9-hole layout back in 1967, expanding to 18 holes just a few years later in 1971. The original design was crafted by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. and tweaked by Joe Finger. The most recent renovation prior to this project took place in 2016, carried out by Rees Jones.
As planning gets underway, Andrew Green emphasizes the goal of creating unique golfing experiences that challenge elite players while still being enjoyable for casual golfers. This thoughtful approach ensures that every player will find something to love about the Highlands Course, setting the stage for many great games to come.
The Atlanta Athletic Club is embarking on an exciting new chapter that promises to breathe fresh life into its historic Highlands Course. As 2028 approaches, anticipation will only continue to build among its members and golf aficionados. Stay tuned for updates, as the AAC prepares to enhance its legacy and reimagine its golf experience!
