United States
Overview
The late architect Bob Cupp, an elite golfer in his youth, was extremely talented at building tournament-worthy golf courses. Settindown Creek, the "country" course of the intown Ansley Golf Club located in the suburbs far north of Atlanta, is no exception (see the slope of 150). The club has hosted a number of prominent state and national events, including the 2005 U.S. Women's Amateur, won by Morgan Pressel. It's a tough course that requires controlled approaches into greens surrounded by creeks, ponds, penal bunkers and deep rough. Two-thirds of the holes play through the flood plain of the Little River, the other third over typically hilly, wooded north Georgia terrain. The original plan for the course had the holes numbered differently. The property straddled the county line, with most of the course on the Cherokee County side. At the time, however, Cherokee was a dry county, so the club moved the location of the clubhouse across the line into the smaller (and wetter) Fulton County section, necessitating a reordering of the holes and turning, unfortunately, one of the course's weakest holes into the current 18th.

“Course is extremely difficult, and the starter will make sure you have enough balls for the round. In really good shape, but don't worry too much about score and enjoy the day."

“Be ready for a strong challenge- bring a lot of balls! Worth the effort if in the area, but this is no walk in the park. Nice surroundings."

“Very underrated, stern test of golf, especially from back tees. Excellent condition and rare Georgia course that over seeds fairways in winter. Greens are excellent and some of the best new Bermuda greens I’ve played."
