White Columns - Atlanta Golf


By contrast, White Columns, a Fazio creation in Alpharetta about 40 minutes north of the city, is superlative. It sits on a majestic land site thick with pines, a few lakes and dramatic elevation changes. Fazio has taken advantage of these features to build a fine upscale daily-fee course that has enormous visual and strategic appeal. Moreover, development around the course will be kept to a minimum.

At White Columns, every hole is unique but a few stand out. Number 4 is a dramatic 450-yard test routed from an elevated tee box down to a valley that leaves a long approach to an equally elevated green. Number 9 is a 590-yard job that goes over a lake and then upward to a green with a narrow front opening. Number 17 is a spectacular par 3 of 215 yards that features a 60-foot drop from the tee to a green fronted by a stream.

Both the service and course conditions are top-notch (depending on seasonal maintenance schedules), factors that warrant the relatively high fees. *
