Anyone who has known the thrill of chasing a little white ball around a golf course will rejoice at the prospect of moving into the Atlanta metro area. A wealth of top-rated courses to play, home of renowned amateur golfer Bobby Jones and several marquee PGA Tour events, puts the Atlanta metro area on top of any golfer's list.
There are more than 150 private, semi-private and daily fee golf courses that dot the metro area landscape; a number of them designed by PGA Tour super stars like Greg Norman, Davis Love, III and Jack Nicklaus. Many of Atlanta's layouts are intertwined with tony golf course communities and that means --- at least for the die hard golfer --- the chance to have a golf course right in your own backyard.
Here is a brief run down of the county-by-county newest golf course home communities.
