About this course
Lane Creek Golf Club is a public course located just outside Athens, Georgia, in the community of Bishop. It originally opened in 1992 and was designed by Athens area architect Mike Young.
The layout was renovated in 2006 with new Champion Bermuda greens, rebuilt and repositioned bunkers, and a few design tweaks, including changing the fifth hole from a par 5 to a short par 4. The course plays to a par of 71 at around 6,678 yards from the back tees, with an even mix of short, tempting par 4s and longer two shot holes, plus par 3s that mostly avoid water hazards.
Lane Creek is open daily to public play, with a practice facility that includes a large tee area, target greens, and a putting green, along with a pro shop and clubhouse patio.

University of Georgia Golf Course
Athens, GA · 10 mi away
The University of Georgia Golf Course opened in 1968. Robert Trent Jones Sr. drew the plan as a favor to university president O.C. Aderhold, and students paid for construction through their activity fees. It is a big, rolling course among tall pines, stretching past 7,200 yards from the back tees. Many greens sit up above the fairway, so approaches have to carry rather than run on. Love Golf Design rebuilt the greens and green complexes in 2006 and added tees, with six sets now in use. It is home to the Bulldogs golf teams and has hosted SEC and NCAA championships, including the 2013 NCAA women's title. The public can book tee times.
