Course Report
The 15th hole’s design is modeled after North Berwick’s renowned par 3, making it a unique piece of golf architecture in Georgia.
About
Lookout Mountain Golf Club is a classic 18-hole course in northwest Georgia designed by Seth Raynor in 1925. Recognized as a top classical layout, the course features memorable mountain vistas, strategic bunkering, and Bermuda fairways, providing a world-class golfing experience for members and their guests.
Caddie Tip
Tee shots can play shorter than their actual yardage due to elevation changes. Carefully judge your club selection on approach shots, and favor the center of greens—deep bunkering around many greens can penalize aggressive, off-target plays.
The Main Challenge
The course’s greatest challenge lies in its strategic bunkering and subtle elevation changes, requiring careful club selection and course management. Greens are well-protected and often slope away, rewarding accuracy and penalizing overly aggressive approaches.
The Good
Golfers love the panoramic mountain vistas that frame almost every hole, especially the cliffside views on the high points of the course. The Seth Raynor design presents memorable holes with a blend of challenge and beauty, making each round feel special and rewarding.
The Not So Good
Some guests mention that wet weather can affect course drainage in lower-lying areas, occasionally making play challenging for walkers and impacting turf conditions. A few also wish for expanded practice areas and updated clubhouse amenities in keeping with the classic course’s reputation.
Signature Hole:
#
15
The signature 15th is a par 3 inspired by the famous West Links at North Berwick. From an elevated tee, golfers hit downhill to a green that slopes away, guarded by deep bunkers left and right. The hole is renowned for its stunning mountain views and challenging approach.
Clubhouse
Members and guests enjoy a welcoming clubhouse with locker rooms, dining facilities, and social lounges. The pro shop is fully stocked with apparel and equipment, and staff provide excellent service. Dining features scenic mountain views, making the post-round experience memorable.
Practice Facilities
The club offers a well-maintained driving range, short game area, and putting green. Golfers enjoy a fully equipped pro shop and attentive staff, but some visitors wish for additional short-game targets and improved range turf.
