I went out last sunday for a twilight 9-holes with my 8 yr. old son. We don’t belong to a golf club so we usually wind up at one of the few daily fee courses in Alpharetta. On Sunday, we played at The Trophy Club off Hopewell Road.
The course is not as manicured as a private club, but it is still in reasonable shape. They’ve overseeded all the tee boxes, which are now starting to fill in. The greens were in decent enough shape. It is not a terribly long course, even from the back tees, but there are some narrow holes. You need to hit the ball where you are lined up!
The great thing is that it was a beautiful Fall day. From the 8th tee box, you look down the hill, across the lake and towards the back nine and you know why you live in Alpharetta.
Plus, there was no one there. Maybe it was because everyone was home watching the Falcons lose, but there tee sheet was wide open and I didn’t call until 3:30PM.
If you’re interested in real estate around this course, look into Champions View. The neighborhood has four or five different sections that are not contiguous and are adjacent to different areas on the course. My favorite section is the one accessed from Thompson Road on the back nine. The newest homes are accessed from Hopefull Road and follow the 10th hole.
