re: Golf around Atlanta area

OK, I do remember the Georgia Tech Club opening. Was surprised they built it that far from campus.
What has closed around there? Looks like Atlanta National is still open as is Hawks Ridge and Settindown Creek (now Capital City Club-Crabapple). I'm not familiar with The Manor unless it had a different name.
Fun fact- I made it through sectional qualifying at Settindown Creek into the 1996 US Open.

Settindown Creek is a tough course. It's a sleeper in that area, not many know about it. I think one course was the Trophy Club of Alpharetta and another one was off Densmore, can't remember the name. I past my PAT at trophy club way back in 1993. I too was a PGA pro at St Ives, but got out of the business in 1999
The Capital City course at Crabapple is next to Atlanta National, it's not Settindown, that one is still around off Cox Rd
Played Atlanta National last week, not nearly as nice as it once was. Never played Hawks Ridge. I play most of my golf at Crystal Falls. Always in great shape!
I think Echelon became the name soon after they opened. Like a year after, people thought it was exclusive to GA Tech and it wasn't. The course went bankrupt and was bought in 2014. The new owner built the clubhouse and made many improvements to the course. That back nine can eat your lunch up and down those hills.

You're correct; Ansley GC bought Settindown Creek, not Capital City Club. Got the downtown 9 hole private clubs confused.

We've probably met then. I was an assistant at Rivermont from '95-'99. Passed my PAT down in Savannah at what is now Savannah Country Club (used to be the Wilmington Island Sheraton Resort). The first pro at Settindown was Craig Hartle; he was the pro at the Sheraton Resort in Savannah before he left to go to Settindown. I'd known him for years and it's why I picked there for sectional qualifying. I've played the Trophy Club at Alpharetta; as a matter of fact, I was playing there the day Payne Stewart died and one of the pros there left in tears because he had known Payne for years and was understandably distraught.

Similar story for me. The Oklahoma City bombing happened the day I went for my final class A interview. I remember waiting for the pro to interview me and watching the news report. I remember Craig Hartle. I'm sure we crossed paths back in the day. Looking back, leaving the golf business was the best decision I ever made. I'd still be working 80 hours a week not making Jack shite.
Worked at Athens CC during my time at UGA. Those were great times. Work two days in cart barn play the other fou. The best gig in town.

If you aren’t decent don’t play East Lake, not fun for duffers (like myself)
Capital City Club Crabapple is a fun course

Settindown is not Capital City Crabapple. As a member of one of those clubs and having played the other several times, I can tell you that they are different. Settindown is Ansley Golf Club. Crabapple is CC.

I went back and noted that prior to your post.
