About East Lake Golf Club

Ross designed East Lake with the kind of strategic variety that challenged Jones's developing golf intellect, featuring approach shots that demand both distance control and creative shot-making. The restoration revealed Ross's subtle green contours and strategic bunkering that had been obscured by decades of modifications. East Lake's significance transcends its architectural merits—this is where Jones learned the strategic thinking that would define his Grand Slam achievements.
