The Smoke Rise Golf and Country Club is a member of the Canongate golf family. This golf club carries the reputation for being one of Atlanta’s best private clubs. Designed by award winning architect Gary Roger Baird, this course features rolling hills and varied elevation. Baird’s designs tend to capture the the natural surroundings and be very aesthetically pleasing. Baird’s priority as a course designer is to maintain the natural state of the land he is developing, taking special care not to alter its original beauty. The signature hole on the course is #11, a 188-yard, par 3 with a pristine lake view from where you must carry the ball to an exceptionally manicured green.
