THE COURSE
The Manor Golf Course
Designer: Tom Watson
The golf course at Manor Golf & Country Club was designed by legendary golfer, Tom Watson. A rare and unique gem, as it’s the only course he’s designed in the state of Georgia and one of only 16 in the world. As an eight-time major winner and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, Watson brought the same drive and determination to the design of The Manor as he did to his professional golf career. Players of all skill levels will be both challenged and thoroughly entertained by this golf course every time they play.
