"The General" course at Barnsley Gardens Resort with its serene vistas, flawless greens & arguably the best collections of par 3’s in all of golf, is one of the most desirable & highly sought after courses to play in not only in the Atlanta area but clear across the Southeast.
Opened in 1999, “The General” at Barnsley Gardens Resort has been ranked in the top 20 in the state by Golf Digest for three years running.
Veteran course architect, Jim Fazio, designed "The General" to blend into its natural surroundings, following the same principles held by Andrew Jackson Downing, the 19th century landscape architect, who believed that man-made elements should appear as if they fit into the natural order of the landscape. In keeping with Downing’s philosophy, Fazio supervised the moving of only one-quarter of the earth typically sculpted at new courses. From the more than 1,000 acres available, Fazio personally selected the 378 acres that "The General" occupies. |
