East Lake Golf Club
Some (possibly) little known facts about East Lake Golf Club, host to this years Tour Championship in Atlanata, GA.
- East Lake itself, was
originally the site of an amusement park in the 1890's - In 1904, a country club was created, engaging golf architect Tom Bendelow to lay out the course.
- In 1913, famed golf course architect Donald Ross redesigned the Bendelow course at East Lake
- Bobby Jones "Home Course" - who also served as it's president
- Hosted the 1963 Ryder Cup
- By the 1980s, once proud East Lake was a tired, mostly forgotten golf course, seemingly as hopeless as the surrounding neighborhood
- In 1994, Rees Jones restored Donald Ross's original golf course layout
- Measures 7,112 yards from the championship tees and plays to par 72 (Par 70 for the Tour Championship)
- Current Course Record - Bart Bryant - 62 (set Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005)
- The course has hosted 17 major championships
- The most talked about hole on the front nine is the 165-yard, par-3 sixth

Doug, Writing an article about long par 3 holes for the Olympic Club magazine, and was wondering who should be credited with the design of #18. Bendelow, Ross, Cobb or Jones. I believe the routing originated with Ross, but wonder if his 18th was played as a Cape style par 4 or whether the tees were closer.
