East Lake Golf Club for the Tour Championship

East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta – site of this week’s season-ending Tour Championship on the PGA Tour – originally was laid out by Tom Bendelow and opened in 1904. Donald Ross revamped the course in 1913, and Rees Jones restored it in 1994.

East Lake ranks as the No. 5 private course in Georgia, and it is No. 92 on Golfweek’s Best list of classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S. The oldest course in Atlanta, it’s where Bobby Jones learned the game.

The course will play to 7,346 yards with a par of 70 for the Tour Championship. Nos. 1 and 14 normally play as par 5s for members, but they will be listed as par 4s for the Tour Championship with only Nos. 6 and 18 playing as par 5s.
