Frequently Asked Questions

How can a non-member play a round at Ansley Golf Club - Settindown?

Settindown is a private club, so direct public access isn't an option. Your best bet is to secure an invitation from a current member or inquire about reciprocal play if your home club has an arrangement. We've found that reaching out to the pro shop can sometimes yield insights into charity events or special guest days.

What's the most memorable or challenging aspect of Settindown's course design?

You'll quickly discover that Settindown truly tests your iron play and course management, especially with its dramatic elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers. We particularly love the back nine, where holes like the par-3 14th demand precision over power, offering stunning views and a real test of nerve.

When is the ideal time of year to experience Ansley Golf Club - Settindown?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the Georgia weather is absolutely perfect for golf. The course conditions are typically pristine, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat and humidity that can make a round less enjoyable. Plus, the fall foliage adds a beautiful backdrop.

What should I expect regarding pace of play and the overall atmosphere at Settindown?

Settindown maintains an excellent pace of play, which is a huge plus - you can usually expect a round to finish in under four hours. The atmosphere is refined but welcoming; it's a place where serious golfers appreciate the challenge without feeling rushed. We always feel a great sense of camaraderie among players here.

Beyond the challenge, what's one unique strategic element I should be aware of at Settindown?

Pay close attention to the greens - they are notoriously fast and feature subtle breaks that can really frustrate you if you're not dialed in. We always advise spending extra time on the practice putting green to get a feel for their speed and undulations before your round. It's a key differentiator here.
