Why it’s a grail

Private club in Marietta, GA, best known as the longtime host of the PGA Tour's Atlanta Classic (~1967-1996) and the site of the inaugural 1974 Tournament Players Championship won by Jack Nicklaus. A historically significant strong-regional course rather than a current national-ranking layout; a 2022 Beau Welling remodel referenced the original design plans.
