![]() Course History and Description: The Frog Golf Course at The Georgian is located west of Atlanta, in Villa Rica. An 18-hole championship golf course designed by famed course architect Tom Fazio, The Frog offers a pure golf experience. This picturesque course features lush, winding fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and some of the finest greens in the state. Recognized as one of the premier golf courses in Georgia, The Frog has been honored with the APEX award, which recognizes the nation’s most outstanding golf tournament facilities. In recent years, The Frog has hosted such prestigious events as the 1999 John Smoltz Celebrity Invitational, the 2001 Georgia Open and the 2002 Georgia Mid-Amateur Championship, and has been rated 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest Magazine. Amenities include a comprehensive practice facility, clubhouse grille, full-service bar, men’s and ladies’ locker rooms, top-notch rental equipment, and a professional staff that will cater to your every need. The Frog is a perfect choice for your next corporate or group outing. Featured Hole Descriptions: Hole #1: Par-4, 457-yards/Black tees, 411-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 1) Better be "warmed up" to play this one. A long par-4 starting hole. Keep your drive down the left side, to compensate the severe left to right sloping fairway. Uphill approach shot plays slightly longer than the yardage. Any shot missed to the right will bounce into heavy rough guarding the green, leaving a difficult pitch shot. Hole #4: Par-5, 537-yards/Black tees, 517-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 3) A classic risk and reward par-5. Long hitters can possibly reach the green in two, but you must hit driver off the tee and be able to avoid the bunkers on the left and the lake guarding the right hand side of the fairway. The safer route is to stay short of the lake off the tee, playing a mid to long iron lay-up down the left hand side of the fairway, followed by a short iron approach to a small, well guarded green. Hole #8: Par-3, 223-yards/Black tees, 214-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 9) A very long and demanding par-3. Trouble looms short, left and long. Choosing the right club is a must to avoid the hazards. Favor the right side of the green, leaving a long putt or an easy up and down to save your par. Hole #11: Par-3, 206-yards/Black tees, 187-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 12) This is the second longest par-3 on the course. Sand covers the entire length of the hole from the front tee box to the right side of the green. Take an extra club to make sure you carry this signature Fazio bunker. Hole #12: Par-4, 456-yards/Black tees, 422-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 2) This is one of the toughest holes on the course, a long dogleg right par-4 with a creek guarding the front of the green. Tee shot must be long and straight to avoid fairway bunkers. Once you have hit safely off the tee, your approach shot must avoid the creek that protects the front and left sides of the green. Pay attention to the pin placement on this very long but narrow green. Hole #18: Par-5, 531-yards/Black tees, 503-yards/Gold tees (Hdcp. 8) A great par-5 finishing hole. Your drive should favor the right hand side of the fairway. Small deep bunker on the left can be challenging, and will eliminate any chance of going for the green in two. Long hitters can get home in two, but must hit long iron or wood to a carefully positioned green guarded by the creek. The safe route is a drive down the right hand side, followed by a mid-to-long iron lay up down the left side of the fairway. This will leave you with a short iron approach to a three-tiered green. Once your round is complete, an ice cold drink or "Frog Lager" awaits you in the grille.
