about the club

For 63 years, Green Island Country Club has served as an oasis of social activity, recreation and culinary delight for its Members. The concept of the Green Island Country Club dates back to the late 1950s when Georgia Power announced the building of a hydroelectric dam on the Chattahoochee River The Jordan Company, which owned property in the area, realized that this dam would create a lake and scenic shoreline, and the idea was born of a uniquely developed real estate opportunity in what would become the Green Island Hills neighborhood and Country Club.

Green Island Country Club officially opened in 1962 The Club was added as a stop on the PGA Tour in 1970 and the tournament name changed to the Southern Open in 1971. This tournament grew to become what is now the Buick Challenge and eventually moved to Callaway Gardens in 1991. In the tournament’s time at Green Island, all of the renown golf professionals Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, and our own Larry Mize played the course

In 1985, wishing to give the Members the opportunity to own their own Club, Gunby Jordan sold Green Island Country Club to its Members. At that time, the Club underwent a complete renovation to include an entirely new Clubhouse, swimming pool and pool house, two-story tennis facility and complete golf course renovation and re-design The Club continues to invest in the golf course and its facilities, providing exceptional amenities and experiences.

Green Island Country Club is a retreat from the hectic hustle and bustle of the city in the heart of Green Island Hills For many, Green Island has become their “home away from home ”
