About the Course
The 18-hole "Capital City" course at the Capital City Club Brookhaven facility in Atlanta, Georgia features all the hallmarks of Georgia golf. Founded as the Brookhaven Country Club in 1883, the club changed its name to Capital City Club twenty years later, in 1903. Prior to its name change, Brookhaven was developed in 1911 by the Mechanical and Manufacturers Club, who hired Long Island golf pro Herbert H. Barker to design a nine-hole course on the property. A year later, the Brookhaven Country Club opened as Atlanta’s second golf course. In 1915, the golf course was increased from nine to eighteen holes when Barker was engaged to set out the 18-hole Brookhaven course as the first golf facility for the members. The present spacious Country Club building was erected in 1928. The clubhouse and the community are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the community is a National Historic District.

About Capital City Club:
That is Atlanta's Capital City Club, as described in the charter granted by Fulton Superior Court on May 21, 1883.
There were sixty-two social and business leaders of the booming little city of Atlanta who organized the Club on April 16, 1883 and petitioned for their charter the following day. Today Atlanta is still booming; the Capital City Club, now among the oldest social organizations in the South, still includes the social and business leaders of the city; and the legal description still fits.y C. Stockdell was the Club's first president. He was succeeded in 1884 by Robert J. Lowry; and then -- in 1885 -- Livingston Mims began the longest term as president, serving, with a two-year interruption, from 1886 through 1906. Subsequent presidents have all served two years or less. The first clubhouse was at 43 Walton Street, then at the southeast corner of Walton and Fairlie. In August 1884, the Club moved into a new establishment at 114 Peachtree Street. The present downtown Club was dedicated on December 16, 1910. The Country Club property was leased in 1913 and purchased in 1915. At that time the golf course was increased from nine to eighteen holes. The present spacious Country Club building was erected in 1928.
Traditionally the center of Atlanta's social activity, the Capital City Club has likewise been the most popular gathering place. The original lake and clubhouse at Brookhaven Country Club city's leading business professionals. Here visiting notables, including three presidents of the United States, have been entertained in an atmosphere of Southern hospitality.
The Capital City Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious social clubs in America. Its membership consists of a mixture of successful people from all walks of life and various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The ideas stated in the Club’s charter are “to promote the pleasure, kind feeling, and general culture of its members." This has no doubt been perpetuated throughout the years as its hospitality has been enjoyed by thousands of visitors from all over the world, including presidents of the United States and royalty from many other countries.
Renovations, expansions, and improvements in member services and satisfaction are constant goals. The Capital City Club is proud of its three facilities: the City Club in downtown Atlanta, the Country Club in Brookhaven, and the Crabapple Golf Club in Cherokee and Fulton counties. The best aspects of the American Dream have been realized by all who have been part of the growth and success of the Capital City Club.
As long as new generations of members and staff remain true to the principles and purposes that have characterized the Club for 139 years, Capital City will continue to survive and prosper with confidence for many years to come.
