This very attractive course and private club were founded by the legendary Bobby Jones in 1947, with Robert Trent Jones, Sr. heading the design. Not surprisingly, the course bears a lovely resemblance to another famous club Jones co-founded — Augusta National. True to the founder's appreciation of the amateur game, Peachtree hosted the 1989 Walker Cup matches, which were won by Great Britain & Ireland over the United States, 12½ to 11½.

Peachtree is usually ranked among the top 100 golf courses in the United States by various magazines. This is a very private club; visitors are permitted only as guests of members.
