A MEMBERSHIP LIKE NO OTHER Did you know the most unique private club membership in the country is in your backyard? Canongate Golf Clubs offers an unprecedented type of membership with access to a select group of 22 private clubs in the greater Atlanta area, including Chapel Hills in Douglasville and Mirror Lake in Villa Rica. Both facilities provide championship golf courses that are best known for scenic views and challenging finishing holes as well as swimming and tennis facilities. Add to that a dynamic club life and you have two of the most popular clubs in the Canongate portfolio. Architects Rocky Roquemore and Jeff Burton faced a tough test at Chapel Hills as the terrain was full of steep hills and rocky outcroppings. But their hard work paid off as the 6,478-yard, par-72 course offers a great combination of challenge, playability and scenic views. Its signature holes are the two finishing holes on each nine which share a lake and a multi-tiered double green. The course also features water on four of the last five holes and fast, undulating greens which were recently converted to Mini Verde Bermuda for superior putting surfaces. Mirror Lake is a 36-hole facility that also offers panoramic views and plenty of challenges. Set on beautiful 100-acre Mirror Lake, the 6,826-yard Lake Course and the 7,097-yard Mountain Course were both designed by Roquemore and Burton and take full advantage of their scenic location. Both put a premium on accuracy, as water comes into play on 11 holes on the Lake Course and on 10 holes on the Mountain Course. In addition, both have two of the toughest finishing holes in the Canongate network as water guards both greens. To help you get your game in shape, both clubs also offer excellent practice facilities with driving ranges, short-game areas and putting greens as well as private lessons from the golf staff. There are also active golf leagues for men, women and seniors, and Chapel Hills is home to an award-winning Golf Academy for juniors. In addition to golf, there are countless opportunities for members and their families to enjoy these two clubs including swimming pools with snack bars, six lighted tennis courts, great dining and bar options and special events. If you and your family want to spend more time outdoors and enjoy quality time with friends, a membership to Chapel Hills and Mirror Lake offers the perfect opportunity.
