Alpharetta Athletic Club-West (Review), Private, 770-410-2300
Although the par 70, Willard Byrd design tips out at 6,100 yards, the West Course will test the patience of any golfer. This risk-reward golf course gives you the choice to either shape a fairway wood to a narrow fairway or go for the gusto and let it rip. With narrow tee shots and pure rolling stamp size greens, the West Course has something for golfers of all playing abilities.
