cart fees. We are also an annual host to the ‘Dixie
Seniors’ who play all around the middle Georgia
area as well as in statewide GSGA [Georgia State Golf
Association] competitions.”
The course not only offers beautiful greens but also
spectacular views all around the course.
The course provides a fun challenge with multiple
holes that require you to shoot over Houston Lake.
The course’s signature is the 18th hole. Based on
the club’s description, the shot “requires a tee shot
that must avoid the lake in front of the tee box and
along the entire right side of the hole. The approach
shot requires another attempt to clear the lake that
cuts in to the narrow fairway in front of the wellbunkered
green.”
Their famous 18th hole was recognized as “One of
Georgia’s Best Golf Holes” by the Atlanta Journal
Constitution. As fun as it is, it does require skill. If
you’d like to shoot for par and if you’d like to improve
your game, the Houston Lake Country Club can help.
“I teach golfers of all levels from beginners to
advanced players, ranging from age 4 to age 84,” said

to assist. To schedule a lesson, please email me at
lacey@houstonlake.com.”
