About Green Island Country Club
Columbus, GA | Nestled in the hills where majestic pine forests march into the sparkling waters of Lake Oliver, the Green Island Hills neighborhood is the model of elegant living and nature existing in perfect harmony. The concept of the Green Island Country Club began back in the late 1950s when Georgia Power announced the building of a hydroelectric dam on the Chattahoochee River. The proposed site for construction was an area near the Columbus Water Works known as Clapp’s Factory Site. 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 Green Island Hills.
Green Island Country Club’s golf course opened in 1961, featuring a George Cobb and Joe Lee design with rolling hills sitting just off the Chattahoochee River. Just minutes from downtown Columbus, Green Island lies 500 feet above sea level, combining beauty and challenging elevation changes on many holes. Green Island hosted the Southern Open for twenty years, from 1970 to 1990. Many greats have played in the hills at Green Island; Jack Nicklaus, Larry Mize, Gary Player, and Jerry Pate, to name a few. Green Island’s history is deeply treasured and shapes a considerable portion of the timeless golfing experience.
Integrating beauty with a challenge, the Green Island Golf Course is lined with mature pine trees from the tee to the green, Champion ultra dwarf-Bermuda greens, and 419 Bermudagrass tees, fairways, and rough. Featuring an up and down layout, the course is a par 71 that is 6,512 yards from the longest tees, with a slope rating of 136 and a 72.1 USGA rating. Six sets of tees offer play for various skill levels, making the course a unique challenge to both novice and seasoned veteran
Green Island Country Club is a retreat from the hectic hustle and bustle of the city in the heart of Green Island Hills. Those who are long-time Members or who have worked here a number of years indicate that Green Island has always stood apart in its “family” atmosphere of service. The word retreat is defined as “a place of privacy or safety, refuge.” For many, Green Island has become their “home away from home.” We are glad to have you as part of the Green Island Country Club family and hope that we can serve you and your family’s needs for many years to come.
