TPC Sugarloaf--Duluth, GA
-17th best course in Georgia (Golf Digest)
-96th best residential course (GolfWeek)
TPC Sugarloaf is the course that hosts the AT&T Championship on the PGA tour. I had the privledge of playing the
Championship "Stable/Meadows" course which was designed by Greg Norman and is rated 73/141 from the blue
tees and measure 6,829 yards.
In a word the course is "hard". Ugh!!! In fact, it was brutal! Long, as well. Like I said before, 6,829 yards from the
blues. At the end of the round, I was cursing Greg Norman for his heavy use of bunkers. Bunkers are everywhere
and unlike other courses, they are not hidden. They are right out there in plain sight, but they are put in such a
position that you have to challenge them given the length of the course. If you choose to lay up or avoid them, the
length of the course is too much to overcome. Make sure you bring you "A+" sand game.
Being a PGA tour course it is in great shape and well maintained. Being a Norman course it is very well bunkered. It
is long, it is heavily bunkered, the greens are quick, the pins are tucked...in short it is a challenge for any golfer of
any ability.
The course in located in an enormous community, with an enormous club house, and an enormous course (27
holes, 3 differnent courses to play). Additionally, It is cool to see all the plaques with PGA pros names on it…course
record, low nine hole round, Mickelson or Woods, etc.
It is the home course of Stewart Cink, which adds to its aura. It is a very nice course with a Southern Plantation feel
to it.
