It is a place where old-fashioned values still matter, and where "good morning" is the norm—where respect, courtesy and manners still exist—and are expected.
Q: Who owns the Club Facilities?
A: Georgia Club Land Company, LLLP, a Georgia limited liability limited partnership owns and operates the Club Facilities.

Members electing to pay the family level of dues are also entitled to have their extended family use the membership privileges upon payment of such preferred fees as may be established by the Club. The extended family shall include the parents, adult children who do not fall within the definition of immediate family, grandparents and grandchildren of the member and spouse and the spouses of such family members.

Q: Can I arrange to have my membership transferred to the subsequent purchaser of my residence or homesite in the Georgia Club community?
A: Yes.
