Country Club of Columbus

Set in Midtown Columbus, Georgia, The Country Club of Columbus (CCC) presents a compact, walkable Donald Ross course that today plays to roughly 6,515 yards at par 71, with everyday setups often tailored for member play and championship weeks occasionally configured at par 70. The property sits amid established neighborhoods just east of downtown, with gently rolling uplands, a central ravine system that informs several approach shots, and a treed perimeter that frames corridors without feeling claustrophobic. Facilities include a full golf shop, instruction programs, and modern practice amenities (including a dedicated putting green beside the first tee) that support the club’s long-running Southeastern Amateur. CCC is strictly private, with no-tee-time culture for members, a busy tournament calendar, and an emphasis on classic ground-game options restored from Ross’s drawings: compact targets, closely mown surrounds, and firm, fast TifEagle putting surfaces. The course’s character is defined by angles rather than raw length—cross-bunkers that influence lay-ups, perched greens that shed indifferent approaches, and a handful of half-par holes that invite calculated risk. The club’s broader campus includes racquet facilities, aquatics, and dining in a traditional clubhouse that overlooks interior holes, but the identity of CCC remains inseparable from its Ross layout and its role as home venue for one of the South’s oldest elite amateur championships.
