Pinetree Country Club carries one of the more distinguished pedigrees in Georgia golf. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the most prolific and influential American golf architect of the 20th century, and it remains a fine example of his signature philosophy: strategic bunkering, contoured greens, and a demand for precise shot-making over raw power. The layout sits in Kennesaw, a city in Cobb County northwest of Atlanta, where the rolling Piedmont terrain gives Jones's design natural movement and elevation change that keeps the round interesting from start to finish.
Kennesaw itself sits in one of metro Atlanta's most active golf corridors, within easy reach of a region that takes the game seriously — Georgia has produced no shortage of touring professionals and hosts major championship history not far away.
As a private members' club, Pinetree rewards those who play it regularly. Learning the nuances of Jones's greens and understanding which holes demand caution over aggression is part of what makes membership here worth having.
