Welcome!

Ansley Golf Club is particularly proud to be hosting the 2012 Georgia Amateur Championship in our Centennial year.  Ansley was founded in 1912 in Atlanta's Ansley Park neighborhood, where members enjoy a classic 9-hole course with a unique urban setting and stunning views of the Midtown skyline. 

Our Settindown course was built in 1988, designed by celebrated golf architect, and Ansley member, Bob Cupp.  Over the years, Settindown has earned a reputation as a demanding, yet fair, test of golf.  Settindown has played host to many state, regional and national tournaments, including GSGA, USGA, NCAA, PGA and PGA Tour sanctioned events.  Ansley Golf Club embraces championship golf, and Settindown has identified an impressive Champion in practically every event it has hosted.

Take a look at the winners from the five most significant championships played at Settindown.
