Druid Hills

The 18-hole layout at Druid Hills Golf Club dates back to 1912, when Englishman Herbert Hayden Barker set out the course. Host venue for the US Women’s Open in 1951, it was most recently renovated by Bob Cupp in 2003.

Founded in the mid-1950s, Cherokee Town and Country Club gradually expanded its golf operation until it had established a highly-regarded 36-hole facility. The North course, an original Joe Lee design, was completely renovated by Tom Fazio during the late 1990s.
TPC Sugarloaf (Stables & Meadows)
