Common questions about Atlanta golf

What are the best public golf courses near Atlanta?
By LooperScore, the top-rated public golf within 45 miles of downtown Atlanta is Bear's Best Atlanta in Suwanee (84.9), Bobby Jones Golf Course in Atlanta (84.7) and Lanier Islands Golf Course in Buford (83.5). The full list on this page also includes resort and semi-private courses that visiting golfers can book.
How many golf courses are within 45 miles of Atlanta?
BogeyMap publishes 33 public, resort and semi-private golf courses within 45 miles of downtown Atlanta, and 33 of them carry a LooperScore. The radius is measured in a straight line, so it can include courses across a state line. Private clubs are not counted.
Can you play private golf courses near Atlanta as a guest?
Usually only with a member. Most private clubs near Atlanta require a member to sponsor or join you. Some allow limited non-member play through a hotel stay, a stay-and-play package or off-season tee times. BogeyMap Pro lists those documented paths, and the club always has the final say.
How are golf courses near Atlanta ranked?
By LooperScore, BogeyMap's own 0-100 rating. It combines course quality signals, verified golfer ratings and editorial review of each Atlanta-area course. We never republish another publication's rankings, and a course shows a score only once the supporting evidence exists, so some courses are listed without one.
