- Description:
- Highland Country Club was chartered January 31, 1922, as a family center to include golf, swimming, tennis, social events, and other recreation. Fuller E. Callaway and his son, Cason, took the initiative. The former donated the 207.16 acres so that the $40,000 raised by the 53 stockholders could all go into construction and development. Donald Ross designed the course; he came to LaGrange to personally supervise. The architectural firm of Hentz, Adler, and Reid designed he first, one story clubhouse, which burned in December of 1924. Neel Reid designed a replacement clubhouse that included a second story to serve as a guest house for Callaway-Truitt Mills. Opening day (July 3, 1923) included an exhibition match. Bobby Jones, the 1922 Southern Amateur Champion, beat Perry Adair, the 1923 Southern Champion, and professionals Harry Stephens of Druid Hills and Howard Beckett of Brookhaven.
