About East Lake Golf Club
East Lake Golf Club, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the most historic and revered golf courses in the United States. It is famously known as the home course of legendary amateur golfer Bobby Jones, who learned to play here and whose legacy is deeply intertwined with the club's identity. Established in 1904, the course was originally designed by Tom Bendelow, with significant redesigns by Donald Ross in 1913, shaping much of its enduring character. In the late 20th century, a comprehensive restoration by Rees Jones brought the course back to its Ross-era splendor, ensuring its challenge and classic aesthetic for modern play.
East Lake is renowned for its championship pedigree, hosting numerous prestigious events including the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship since 1998, where the FedEx Cup champion is crowned. The course is a par-70 layout, known for its demanding greens, strategic bunkering, and tree-lined fairways that reward precision and thoughtful course management. The playing experience is one of stepping back in time, offering a classic parkland challenge that tests every aspect of a golfer's game, from powerful drives to delicate short game shots around its undulating putting surfaces.
Beyond its golfing excellence, East Lake Golf Club plays a vital role in its community. The club is the primary financial engine for the East Lake Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing the surrounding neighborhood. Every dollar generated by the golf course, beyond what is needed for operations, is invested into the foundation's programs, which focus on education, mixed-income housing, and community wellness. This unique philanthropic model adds a profound layer of purpose to every round played at this iconic venue.
