Hole 9

This straightaway Par 4 is a demanding finish to the outward 9 holes. A strong drive will leave a mid iron to a green with a wide variety of hole locations. When the flagstick is back left, players should add a club for their approach and be sure to aim slightly left of the flagstick.

Hole 13

Bringing the player down toward the scenic Chattahoochee, the 13th hole on Riverside provides the player with the best birdie opportunity on the course. A good tee shot will definitely provide the player with a chance to attack this relatively flat green with a hybrid or possibly even an iron. Players must still control their second shot, however, as any shot that strays right may find a deep bunker or the Chattahoochee River.

Hole 14

Perhaps the most scenic hole at Atlanta Athletic Club, #14 is a short, tight Par 4 that requires an accurate tee shot and approach. The green is fronted by a pond and the Chattahoochee River to the right. Midway through the hole, be sure to look at the River and take in the clear, calm waters created by an ancient Native American fish trap.

Hole 16

An uphill Par 4, hole #16 provides a challenging second shot up the hill to a severely undulating green. Players should always take at least one extra club for the approach shot as coming up short will provide a very difficult up and down.

Hole 17

A long challenging Par 3, #17 typically plays into the wind and requires a high, soft shot to hold this challenging green. Players should avoid the left greenside bunker as any shot in there will provide a difficult, downhill bunker shot. The right greenside bunker is a good bailout area and provides a reasonable chance to save par.

Hole 18

A great Par 5 finish hole, #18 provides a generous landing area for the tee shot. Hitting a precise lay up is important to ensure the player has a flat lie for an final approach shot over water. When the flagstick is back left, hitting the approach to the correct level will provide a flat birdie putt to finish off the round.
