The 18-hole private course began construction in 1904 and was designed by course architect Tom Bendelow. In 1913 the course was redesigned to its current layout by famed architect Donald Ross.  In 1994, East Lake’s current Director of Agronomy Ralph Kepple, CGCS worked with Rees Jones on a redesign of the golf course which included reconstruction of the greens, tees, fairways and bunkers, a new irrigation system, a new storm drainage system, a switch to Meyer zoysiagrass fairways, a new maintenance facility and many other upgrades. East Lake Golf Club has played host to several professional and amateur events over the years including the 1963 Ryder Cup, 2001 US Amateur Championship, 2002 Southern Amateur, 18 TOUR Championships and continues to host the East Lake Cup, a collegiate golf tournament developed through The Golf Channel that is held at the end of October. East Lake Golf Club currently serves as the home to the TOUR Championship held each year in August. Today, the club’s membership is primarily corporate and plays host to a variety of personal, business and professional golfers and events each year. The club is also philanthropic in nature in that all proceeds from operations go back to benefit the surrounding East Lake community.
