Atlanta National Golf Club

Atlanta National Golf Club is a 6,966-yard, par-72 private course in Milton, Georgia, designed by Pete and P.B. Dye and opened in 1987 on 240 acres of natural hardwoods, rolling hills, and the waterways of Chicken Creek and Little River. The layout embodies the hallmarks of Pete Dye's design vocabulary — deep railroad tie bunkers, an island-green par-3 at the seventeenth hole, and undulating greens — set against the wooded terrain of Milton's Forsyth County border. Atlanta National is a founding-era Pete Dye design with a course rating of 74.6 and slope of 147 from the Black tees.

Atlanta National Golf Club in Milton, Georgia, opened in 1987 as a collaborative design by Pete Dye and his son P.B. Dye — a productive father-and-son design partnership in American golf history. Pete Dye, already recognized as a standout influential course architects of the 20th century for his work at TPC Sawgrass, Crooked Stick, and Harbor Town, brought his characteristic design vocabulary to the Atlanta National site: railroad ties, bold water hazards, forced carries, and the strategic complexity that distinguished his work from more conventional American course design. The 18-hole layout plays to 6,966 yards at par 72, routing across 240 acres of natural hardwoods, rolling hills, and babbling brooks in the Crabapple area of Fulton County. The natural topography of the Milton site — more rugged and undulating than the flatland terrain that dominated much of Atlanta's suburban growth during the same period — gave the Dyes a landscape suited to their naturalistic design approach. Pete Dye's signature angled railroad ties are visible on the par-4 14th hole, a design element he used throughout his career to create sharply defined hazard boundaries and to reference industrial materials as aesthetic features. Atlanta National includes a captivating island green among its strategic hazards — a feature that has become a defining element of several Dye courses nationwide. The club is set within a private, gated community in Fulton County north of Atlanta, surrounded by the horse farms and gentle streams that define the Crabapple neighborhood. Invited (formerly ClubCorp) manages Atlanta National within its portfolio of private clubs, providing professional operations and national membership reciprocity to the club's members. The Milton address places the club within one of North Atlanta's fastest-growing communities, which incorporated as a city in 2006.
