This project isn’t just about a shiny new building; it’s deeply rooted in the community and its surroundings. The clubhouse, originally designed in a Grecian revival style back in the early 1900s, will be redesigned to harmonize beautifully with the local vibe. The site covers a generous 4.7 acres that will include green spaces and ample parking, making it not just a place to visit, but a destination to enjoy.

From Golf Course to Cultural Hub
The Bobby Jones Clubhouse is not just a pretty face; it has a rich history. Situated beside the renowned Bobby Jones Golf Course, which first opened its doors in 1932 to honor the famous amateur golfer, this venue will continue to serve as a community asset. Owned by the State of Georgia since 2016, the newly revamped golf course has already been recognized as the Jemsek National Course of the Year for 2025.
Community Focused Activities
This golf course does much more than host golf games. It’s an active hub for engaging programs, including free junior golf clinics and specialized golf programs for veterans. With over 250 kids participating in last summer’s PGA Junior League, it’s clear that this venue is committed to nurturing young talent.
A Testament to Innovation and Innovation
The Bobby Jones Golf Course has recently undergone a whopping $33 million renovation, showcasing the commitment to transforming municipal golf courses into community treasures. With cutting-edge technology like TrackMan Range, golf enthusiasts of all skill levels can enhance their experience. And to complement the outstanding golfing experience, ongoing management by Bobby Jones Links ensures that the operations remain accessible and sustainable.
Unifying Art and Nature
With the new arts center on the horizon and the golf course bustling with life, Bobby Jones is poised to become a vibrant cultural and recreational hub. This venture will foster a closer connection to the arts while still celebrating the green spaces we have come to love. It’s a great time to be part of this community as it evolves into a haven for all things artistic and recreational!
