Big news is buzzing around the city as the Atlanta Opera prepares to give the historic Bobby Jones Clubhouse a dazzling makeover! This magnificent project is set to turn the clubhouse into a stunning multi-disciplinary arts center and recital hall that will be a shining beacon of creativity and community engagement.

A $45 Million Vision

The ambitious makeover comes with a hefty price tag of $45 million, but fear not! Core funding has already been secured, paving the way for this exciting venture. Scheduled to be complete by the summer of 2027, this transformation will not only enhance the arts scene but also strengthen ties with the community surrounding the facility.

Designing an Artistic Oasis

So, what can we expect from this revitalization? The transformed clubhouse will feature a nature-inspired recital hall, an immersive theatre venue, as well as areas for administration, rehearsal, and education. Imagine stepping into a space that breathes the essence of art and culture, inspired by the natural beauty around it!

Location, Location, Location!

The clubhouse is conveniently located on Woodward Way on the Atlanta Beltline, ensuring that it remains easily accessible to everyone. The location will seamlessly link the opera to the community, creating a vibrant hub where creativity and connection thrive.

A Historic Home with a Bright Future

Originally built in the early 1900s in the elegant Grecian revival style, the Bobby Jones Clubhouse is not just any old building; it’s steeped in history! The redesign will ensure that it fits beautifully with the surrounding neighborhood while retaining its historic charm.

Golden Golf Course Legacy

Now, let’s not forget the fabulous grounds on which this transformation will take place! The site boasts 4.7 acres of green space coupled with ample parking facilities. The Bobby Jones Golf Course, named in honor of the legendary amateur golfer, opened its doors in 1932 and has become quite a community treasure.

Revamping the Golf Course Scene

Fast forward to today, and this beautiful golf course has recently undergone a spectacular $33 million renovation to transform it into a sought-after community asset. Featuring a reversible nine-hole layout named Magnolia and Azalea and a charming five-hole par-3 course called Cupps Links, this golfing haven is all about accessibility and enjoyment for everyone!

Community Programs That Shine

The golf course is no ordinary place; it’s buzzing with life! The Bobby Jones Golf Course offers an array of programs aimed at juniors, veterans, and adaptive golf communities. With free junior golf clinics and the PGA Hope program for active-duty military and veterans, there’s truly something for everyone. Last summer alone, over 250 children participated in the PGA Junior League, showcasing a commitment to fostering youth love for the game.

Setting New Standards

Recognized as the Jemsek National Course of the Year for 2025, Bobby Jones Golf Course is paving the way for municipal golf course renovations across the nation. With cutting-edge TrackMan Range technology in play, it’s clear that every golfer can improve their skills here, regardless of their experience level.

A Sustainable Future

As if that wasn’t enough, Bobby Jones Links is at the helm of managing operations, driving a community-focused golf experience that emphasizes sustainability and inclusivity. This transformation, both for the clubhouse and the golf course, is set to harmonize art and recreation in a way that enriches the community tapestry.

The future looks bright for both the arts and golf enthusiasts in the area, so stay tuned for more updates as this exciting project unfolds!
