ATHENS, Ga. – Concert Golf Partners has acquired The Georgia Club—an iconic Peach State private club—from Pan Pacific Fairway V, the owner of the surrounding upscale community.
Located near the University of Georgia—and about an ho ur from Atlanta—The Georgia Club is known for its beautiful traditional southern architecture, set amongst the picturesque, rolling hills of Northeast Georgia, where members “Experience Athens Golf at Its Finest.”
Based near Orlando, Concert Golf Partners is a boutique club hospitality company that invests its own capital to fund projects and build new amenities. Concert offers coordinated expansion efforts with seamless transitions, relieving owners and board members of the stress and financial burden of day-to-day management of a club. Concert is extremely selective in which clubs fit our portfolio.
The acquisition of The Georgia Club represents another significant step forward in Concert’s mission to preserve and enhance premier private country clubs nationwide. This is accomplished by making annual capital investments in our clubs aimed at elevating the amenities, service levels, and overall member experience, while building and maintaining thriving club environments.
With 27 holes across nearly 350 acres designed by Denis Griffiths—known for his course architecture work throughout Georgia and overseas—The Georgia Club’s traditional 18-hole Chancellor’s Course features natural beauty year-round from tee-to-green, with majestic pine trees, and breathtaking azaleas and dogwoods. This championship course carries a 74.6 course rating and a 130 slope.
The Georgia Club features resort-style amenities and service that promote a healthy lifestyle, highlighted by a golf practice facility, pickleball, tennis, fitness, aquatics and a 35,000-sq. ft. clubhouse that offers various dining options and styles, such as farm-to-table, with a community garden and organically grown food. The Club is a year-round host to weddings and private parties.
“The Georgia Club gets in your blood, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else,” said Georgia Club Member Chuck Dowdle, retired Sports Director for WSB-TV, and a University of Georgia Broadcast crew member. “The amenities are world-class. There’s no facility quite like it. It looks like a movie set. The Georgia Club is not just a club or community. It’s family. When I drive through the gate, I’m home.”
The Georgia Club is the 36th upscale private club to join the Concert portfolio, and the third in the state—joining Country Club of Roswell near Atlanta; and West Lake Country Club near Augusta. Other recent acquisitions include: Golf Club of the Everglades (Naples, Florida); TPC Jasna Polana (Princeton, New Jersey); The Club at Pasadera (Monterey, California); and both Walden on Lake Conroe Golf Club and Northgate Country Club (near Houston).
“We’re proud to be the new owners of The Georgia Club, located in a vibrant and fast-growing community,” said Concert Golf Partners Senior Vice President Jordan Peace. “The club’s owners were impressed by how we operate our premier clubs nationwide, and our commitment to continuously re-invest in each of these clubs to ensure they thrive for decades. With additional new houses planned for the community, the current owners were confident in our ability to elevate The Georgia Club and positively increase home values, while continuing to provide members with an excellent level of service.”
