FAIRWAYS OF CANTON GOLF CLUB | STRATUS KITCHEN & BAR

The rolling foothills of North Georgia create natural amphitheaters for several holes here, where elevation changes of 40-50 feet turn routine approach shots into calculated risks worth taking. What separates this layout from other public tracks in the Atlanta suburbs is how architect Mike Young carved fairways that follow the land's contours rather than bulldozing through them, creating sight lines that reward local knowledge on your second visit. The par-4 14th drops nearly three clubs from tee to green, but it's the uphill par-3 17th that'll have you checking the wind twice before pulling iron.
