Overview
Club Overview:
In 1887, a leading group of 100 citizens of Atlanta pledged $100 each to form a driving association. Chartered by Fulton County Superior Court on June 4, 1887, the “Gentlemen’s Driving Club” was born. Its objective was specifically the association of members for the purpose of driving their fine horses, which was the most popular sport of the day.

Since 1887, Piedmont Driving Club has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most prestigious private clubs in the south. The historic Main Clubhouse, located in downtown Atlanta approximately 20 miles from the Golf Club, offers casual dining, athletic facilities that include men's and women's health clubs, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball and squash courts, a newly constructed padel court and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The Athletic Department offers a variety of health and fitness programs.
In October of 1997, in a meeting of the membership, a favorable vote was cast for the acquisition and development of a golf and recreational facility for Piedmont Driving Club. The passage of this measure signaled the beginning of a new era in the life of the Club.
In April of 1998, the club purchased a tract of approximately 538 acres including a 145-acre lake in southwest Atlanta for a golf course and recreational facility. The initial 18-hole golf course was designed by noted golf course architect Rees Jones. The official groundbreaking was on August 22, 1998, and the course opened for play on May 18, 2000.
Now in its second century, Piedmont Driving Club continues to grow and prosper and is a dynamic part of Atlanta’s rich heritage and promising future.
