#5: Atlanta Athletic Club

Highlands Course

Location: John’s Creek, Georgia

Par: 72

Yardage: 7,613 yards

I must admit this was a tough decision on whether to include this course. I found myself left with the decision to pick this one or TPC Sawgrass. It was tough to leave out the course with the famous island green from this list but it would easily make my top 10 golf courses.

Atlanta Athletic Club is a 45-hole facility with two 18-hole courses and a nine-hole track. A Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, the Highlands course is what has been used for the PGA Tour events. To date, the course has hosted four major championships, one U.S. Open and three PGA Championships. The most recent one came in 2011 when Keegan Bradley was crowned as the winner of the PGA Championship. Its been around five years since this course last hosted an event but it left enough of an impression for me to still remember it.
