About Echelon Golf Club

Echelon Golf Club, formerly known as the Georgia Tech Club, is a premier private golf course nestled in the rolling hills of Alpharetta, Georgia. Designed by the renowned Rees Jones, often referred to as 'The Open Doctor,' the course opened in 2006 and quickly established itself as one of the finest golf experiences in the Southeast. Jones's design philosophy is evident throughout, emphasizing strategic play, challenging bunkering, and a harmonious integration with the natural topography, making for a truly memorable round.

The course spans over 7,500 yards from the tips, offering a formidable test for even the most accomplished golfers, yet multiple tee boxes ensure an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels. Echelon is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, pristine Zoysia fairways, and immaculate Bentgrass greens, which are known for their speed and subtle breaks. The layout demands precision and thoughtful shot-making, rewarding well-executed shots while penalizing errant ones.

Beyond the championship-level golf, Echelon Golf Club provides a luxurious and exclusive atmosphere. The club prides itself on its exceptional service, top-tier practice facilities, and a stately clubhouse that complements the grandeur of the course. It's a destination where the love of golf meets sophisticated Southern charm, offering members a private sanctuary to hone their game and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts.
