T H E C L U B Atlanta Athletic Club (“AAC”) was founded in 1898 with facilities in the heart of downtown that offered its members a gymnasium, lounge, locker rooms and showers. By 1901, the membership had quickly grown to 700. In 1907 the Club completed its first 18-hole golf course known as East Lake Country Club, which was then redesigned in 1915 by Donald Ross (this course later became East Lake Golf Club). AAC has a long and rich history in golf and sports, including its second Athletic Director John Heisman, LPGA founder and hall of fame member Louise Suggs, distinguished amateur Charlie Yates and its most accomplished golfing member Bobby Jones. In 1976, the Club dedicated The Jones Room to celebrate and display many of Bobby Jones trophies and memorabilia. Between 1965 - 1970, the Club sold its downtown facilities and purchased a tract of land in Duluth, an
area that was later renamed Johns Creek. The Club hired Robert Trent Jones to design the new 36-hole layout, with 27 holes opening in 1967 and the final 9 holes opening in 1970. Over the years there have been several renovations including the addition of a par-3 course in 1994.
