Overview
The Fall Line property in central Georgia sits amid a sandy transition zone that spans from Columbus to Augusta. The club’s vast, 5,000-acre site—as rural as it gets in the Southeast—provided near limitless opportunities for the Australian firm of Ogilvy, Cocking & Mead (with Mike Cocking as lead architect), inspiring the concept of two complementary courses, one designed with British heathland accents and one with Melbourne sand belt influences. Opened first, the heathland-inspired East Course ventures through sparse forests of scrub pine with broad, inviting fairways that cascade across long inclines of land. A detour from holes 11 through 15 take play into a highland meadow that provides outward views of the surrounding central Georgia ridges and valleys before the routing ducks back into the pines. As with its ancestral inspiration, playing the ball along the ground on the zippy Zeon zoysia fairways is half the fun as balls can careen onto the wild greens from a variety of angles, and the six par 3s each present unique looks and challenges. The routing is also enigmatic, with no repeating pars until the 12th and 13th holes (both par 4s), keeping the shot options fresh hole to hole.

“Traditional parkland layout compared to the West, but a fine golf course. The Meadow holes 12-15 were strong. I thought 16 was a pretty interesting hole as well. The 6 par 3s were all quite different."

“A heathland-inspired layout reminiscent of London’s classic belt. Winding through native scrub pines the first 10 holes and then opening into highland meadows for the following 6, its par-70 routing features six distinct par threes that force constant distance control and shot-shaping. The genius lies in its clever land use and heavily contoured greens, where subtle angle requirements and aggressive native-grass bunkering punish misplaced drives despite the relatively friendly overall length."

“Fall Line East is a fantastic new design by OCM that brings the style of the English Heathland to mid Georgia. The result is a very original golf course where you know you aren't in England but get off line into the heath and bracken and it certainly plays like it. 6 par 3s and an incredibly varied layout ensure each hole feels unique and separate yet it plays cohesively over the expansive property. With its magnificent conditioning and creative design, Fall Line East certainly has earned the title of best new course from 2025."

“A very well conditioned course that plays fast and firm in the fairways. There are some choices off the tee, but it is fairly straight forward for the first time player. A very nice variety of holes and the order of the holes. You don't have a repeating par until the 13th hole (second par 4 in a row). There are six par threes and they form a nice variety in clubs hit and design features. the par fives are reachable and some of the more fun shots. A real treat that you should not pass up if the chance to play is offered."

“The East Course at The Fall Line evokes the heathland stalwarts in and around London (as was OCM's intent). The native areas frequently intrude on playing lines and the deceptively severe greens ensure that challenge persists throughout each hole. Six par 3s and six par 5s ensure a player never gets comfortable off the tee, in fact driver isn't needed on consecutive holes on the front 9."

“Fall Line East is a private golf course in Georgia designed by Ogilvy Cocking Mead (OCM). The course is built on a massive piece of property, and no expense was spared. The routing features a mix of hole directions, lengths, and shot shapes across varied terrain. The course is grassed in zoysia throughout the main playing areas. Greens are expansive with multiple pin locations, allowing for varied daily setups. Bunkers are prominently featured with detailed shaping and defined edges. Course conditions are maintained at a high standard across fairways, greens, and surrounding areas."
