TWO MILLION REASONS TO JOIN POLO GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB There have always been a number of reasons to love Polo Golf and Country Club, as the members enjoy a golf course designed by award-winning architect Joe Lee, a dynamic clubhouse, a fitness center, an adult pool and a family swim and tennis center. Now, there are going to be a few more reasons, as the club and new owner Sequoia Golf have implemented a comprehensive $2 million capital improvement plan designed to elevate their offerings to an even higher level of quality. First and foremost, this commitment to excellence is focused on the golf course, which features numerous elevation changes, large greens with subtle breaks and water hazards on 15 of the 18 holes. More than 50 percent of the $2 million is planned for upgrading the playability and playing conditions—including renovating all of the greenside bunkers using Perma Bunker™ technology—and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the course. The rest of the capital improvement plan will be focused on the non-golf amenities, clubhouse and surrounding landscaping, including renovating the interior of the clubhouse to reflect upscale, transitional contemporary design elements and clean lines, installing a new $150,000 fitness area inside the clubhouse, adding a golf performance center in the current fitness center building and upgrading the swim and tennis facilities by replacing awnings, resurfacing clay tennis courts, resurfacing the pool deck and adding furniture and cabanas. In addition to the up-front capital to improve the facility from top to bottom, Polo is also putting additional measures in place to ensure the long-term viability of the club, including increasing the annual capital improvement budget by 250 percent, investing in Polo’s workforce to allow the club to provide top-tier service and improved upkeep of the properties and increased member programming and social events for all ages. These substantial new investments will help deliver premium course conditions and top-of-the-line amenities at the club. Come see why Polo Golf and Country Club is rising to the top of the Atlanta country club market. † † † † † † † CLUB OVERVIEW † † † † Located in Cumming, Georgia Opened in 1988 Joe Lee-designed golf course ranges from 5,084 yards to 6,699 yards Practice facilities include a driving range, short-game practice area and a putting green 30,000-square-foot clubhouse with casual dining at the Polo Grille, an outdoor patio and Mullligan’s Pub for casual fare Men’s and women’s locker rooms Golf pro shop Family swim center with an Olympic-size pool, “kiddie” pool, waterslide and snack bar Adult swim center with resort-style lounge furniture and shower facilities Tennis center with eight lighted Har-tru tennis courts and two lighted clay courts Fitness center with cardio equipment, weight machines and free weights
