Southerness Golf Club, CLOSED 2004

Detailed description of Southerness Golf Club, CLOSED 2004

Southerness Golf Club is a Semi-Private 18 hole golf course located in Stockbridge, Georgia.

The course first opened for play in 1991. The course was designed by Clyde Johnston.

Southerness has tree-lined fairways. On a couple of holes, trees are located in the middle of the fairways. Water hazards come into play on many holes, and in addition, many sand and grass bunkers have been incorporated into the course design.

The course is a par-72 layout that measures 6,766 yards from the back tees. The signature holes are #16 and #17. Hole #16 hole is a 182-yard, par 3, and #17 is a 394-yard, par 4.

The State og Georgia purchased the golf course in late 2004 and then promptly closed the course.

The site was planned to become a passive park with walking trails.
