Ansley Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play Ansley Golf Club if I'm not a member?

Ansley is a private club, so you'll need a personal invitation from a current member to experience its greens. We recommend reaching out to any connections you might have within the Atlanta golf community; it's truly the only way to get a tee time here. Once you're invited, prepare for a day of exceptional service and a course that lives up to its exclusive reputation.

What's the best time of year to play Ansley, and what should I expect from the course conditions?

We find late spring or early fall offers the most pleasant conditions at Ansley, avoiding the intense summer heat and humidity. The course staff keeps the Bermuda grass fairways and greens in immaculate shape year-round, but these seasons provide ideal temperatures for walking and enjoying the mature tree-lined layout. Expect firm, fast greens that demand precision.

What makes Ansley's course layout unique, and what kind of golfer will enjoy it most?

Ansley's course is a masterclass in strategic design, winding through rolling terrain with tight, tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy over brute strength. You'll find elevation changes and well-placed bunkers that make every shot a thoughtful decision, not just a swing. It's a fantastic test for the golfer who appreciates classic design and a premium on course management.

Beyond the golf, what's the overall experience like at Ansley Golf Club for a visitor?

The Ansley experience extends far beyond the fairways; it's about old-school Southern charm and impeccable hospitality. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel the club's rich history and a welcoming, yet refined, atmosphere in the clubhouse. We always recommend enjoying a meal or a drink on the patio after your round - the service is top-notch.

Are there any specific holes at Ansley I should look forward to or prepare for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a beautiful but challenging downhill shot over water that demands a precise iron. The finishing stretch, especially the par-4 18th, is also memorable, requiring a well-placed drive and an accurate approach to a green guarded by bunkers. These holes truly highlight the course's strategic design and beauty.
