Established in 1904, East Lake is the oldest golf course in Atlanta. Tom Bendelow was the original architect. In 1913 the course was completely reworked by the classicist Donald Ross, whose layout survives as the basic design today. In 1994, famed architect Rees Jones restored Donald Ross' original golf course layout. The course measures 7,374 yards from the championship tees and plays to par 72. East Lake's signature hole is the 168-yard, par-3 sixth, which plays from an elevated tee to a diagonally angled peninsula green. This particular green complex existed on the original Tom Bendelow course, where it served as the green at the par-5 16th and was one of the first island greens in America. Over the years, the East Lake course has hosted many national and regional championships. The Southern Amateur was played at East Lake in 1907, 1910, 1915, 1922, & 1923; the Southern Open in 1919, 1920, & 1927; the Georgia State Amateur in 1924, 1930, 1934, 1941, & 1956; the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1950; the Ryder Cup in 1963; the Western Junior Amateur in 1997; the 101st United States Amateur in 2001; The TOUR Championship eleven times since 1998. In 2005, East Lake was named the permanent home to The TOUR Championship, the last tournament in the newly created PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup. Certificate expires December 31, 2013.
