'''East Lake Golf Club''' is a private golf club 5 miles east of downtown [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. Established in 1904, it is the oldest golf course in the city.<ref name="eastlakegolfclub.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.eastlakegolfclub.com/ |title=East Lake Golf Club |access-date=May 12, 2017}}</ref> East Lake was the home course of golfer [[Bobby Jones (golfer)|Bobby Jones]] and much of its clubhouse serves as a tribute to his accomplishments.

Since [[2004 PGA Tour|2004]], East Lake has been the permanent home of [[The Tour Championship]], the culminating event of the [[PGA Tour]] Playoffs for the [[FedEx Cup]].<ref name=about/> The Tour Championship was first played at the course in [[1998 PGA Tour|1998]]. The reigning Tour Championship and FedEx Cup champion is [[Viktor Hovland]].

All proceeds from operations at East Lake Golf Club—more than $20 million to date<ref name="eastlakegolfclub.com"/>—go to support the [[East Lake Foundation]], which has helped transform one of the nation's worst public housing projects into a thriving community.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eastlakefoundation.org/who-we-are/ |title=Who We Are |publisher=East Lake Foundation |access-date=May 12, 2017}}</ref>

==History==
===Early years===
[[File:East Lake Country Club and Golf Course, Atlanta, Ga. (8343902054).jpg|thumb|left|300px|Old postcard of the course at East Lake.]]

The [[Atlanta Athletic Club]] (AAC) was formed in 1898 and due to its popularity it gained 700 members in only four years. The director of the club's athletic program was [[John Heisman]], the famous football coach for whom the [[Heisman Trophy]] is named. In 1904 the AAC bought property at East Lake to build a country club which included a golf course. Course architect [[Tom Bendelow]] was asked to lay out the course.

[[image:BobbyJonesAge9.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Bobby Jones (golfer)|Bobby Jones]] age 9 shown playing golf at his home course at East Lake.]]

The course's first holes were built in 1906 and were initially only seven holes, then nine. In the summer of 1907, the course was expanded to 17 holes, and later that year the 18th hole was built to complete it. Also in 1907, the first significant tournament was hosted at East Lake, the [[Southern Amateur]], won by Nelson Whitney. In 1908, [[Tom Bendelow]] opened his "No. 2" course at East Lake.

In 1913, famed golf course architect [[Donald Ross (golfer)|Donald Ross]] redesigned the course at East Lake.  The new plan provided for each of the nine holes to conclude at the clubhouse. Ross also redesigned the No. 2 course in 1928.

A tragic fire destroyed the original clubhouse at East Lake in 1925.  Following the fire, famed architect [[Philip Shutze]], who is known for constructing the famous [[Swan House (Atlanta)|Swan House]] in [[Buckhead]], was hired by the club to build East Lake's present day two-story [[Tudor Architecture|Tudor style]] clubhouse.

Golfer [[Bobby Jones (golfer)|Bobby Jones]] is said to have played his first and last games of golf at East Lake.<ref>{{cite book |title=Where Bobby Learned to Play |first=	Linton C. |last=Hopkins |publisher=McGuire Publishing |year=1996 |isbn=978-0962838118}}</ref> Jones won golf's [[Grand Slam (golf)|Grand Slam]] in 1930, claiming the [[U.S. Amateur]], [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]], [[British Amateur]] and [[British Open]] titles in the same year. Jones's father, "Colonel" Robert P. Jones, served as the president of East Lake from 1937–42 and as a director for 38 years. Bobby Jones himself also served as president of East Lake from 1946–47.

Other notable East Lake players around the same time were amateurs [[Watts Gunn]], [[Perry Adair]], [[Charlie Yates]] and [[Alexa Stirling Fraser]] many of whom were assisted by East Lake's golf professional [[Stewart Maiden]].

In 1963, East Lake hosted the 15th biennial [[Ryder Cup]] where [[Arnold Palmer]] served as the playing captain of the winning US Team.

===Redevelopment===
East Lake began a downward slope when the surrounding neighborhood deteriorated in the 1960s and became victim to [[white flight|suburban flight]]. The Atlanta Athletic Club became a part of this when it sold the No. 2 course to developers and moved to its current home in [[Johns Creek, Georgia|Johns Creek]]. The original course and clubhouse were saved by a group of 25 members, led by Atlanta businessman Paul Grigsby, who purchased them and created East Lake Country Club in 1968.

In 1970, the East Lake Meadows public housing project was built on the site of the No. 2 golf course and became a center for poverty, drugs and violence. Middle-income homeowners fled the surrounding neighborhood, replaced by low-income renters. By the 1980s, East Lake became a mostly forgotten golf course in a seemingly hopeless neighborhood.{{Citation needed|date=September 2016}}

This all changed in 1993 when a local charitable foundation headed by [[Tom Cousins]] purchased East Lake with the intent to restore it as a tribute to Bobby Jones and the club's other great amateur golfers. The East Lake Foundation was also created and has used the renovation as a catalyst for revitalizing the surrounding community.

In 1994, [[Rees Jones]], son of golf course architect [[Robert Trent Jones]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reesjonesinc.com/rees-jones-biography.php |title=About Rees Jones – Biography |publisher=Rees Jones, Inc. Golf Course Design |access-date=May 12, 2017}}</ref> restored [[Donald Ross (golfer)|Donald Ross]]' original golf course design at East Lake to its current layout.

In 1998 [[the Tour Championship]] was hosted at East Lake for the first time.  In 2005 East Lake was named the permanent home of the Tour Championship. East Lake has hosted the tournament 23 times since 1998.

The clubhouse was significantly expanded in 2008 with a 20,000 square foot addition designed to match the existing 1926 structure. The manufacturer of the original [[B. Mifflin Hood Brick Company|B. Mifflin Hood]] roof tiles had gone out of business in the 1940s, but they were recreated by [[Ludowici Roof Tile|Ludowici]]. Construction began in February of that year and was completed by the Tour championship that September.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Strasberg |first1=Hadiya |title=Traditional Blend |work=Traditional Building |publisher=Clem Labine |date=June 2009}}</ref>

===Golf with a Purpose===
All of the profits from East Lake Golf Club go to support the [[East Lake Foundation]] which in turn helps to support the health, education, safety and productivity of the [[East Lake (Atlanta)|East Lake]] neighborhood.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eastlakefoundation.org/the-east-lake-story|title=The East Lake Story - Community Redevelopment - Atlanta, Georgia|publisher=East Lake Foundation|access-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307012457/http://www.eastlakefoundation.org/the-east-lake-story|archive-date=March 7, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Because of this, East Lake Golf Club's motto is "Golf with a Purpose".

Based on the success of the East Lake model, a new organization, [[Purpose Built Communities]], was established in 2009 to help fight concentrated segments of poverty in communities throughout the United States. Today, Purpose Built Communities is present in 14 cities in the US.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://purposebuiltcommunities.org/our-network/|title=Our Network |date=July 16, 2019 |publisher=Purpose Built Communities}}</ref>

===Charlie Yates Golf Course===
In 1998 East Lake's No. 2 golf course was transformed into the [[Charlie Yates Golf Course]], a 9-hole "executive" public course that provides golf education to children living in the city of Atlanta.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.charlieyatesgolfcourse.com/aboutus/|title=About|access-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151020060207/http://www.charlieyatesgolfcourse.com/aboutus/|archive-date=October 20, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> The course was rated one of the top 10 short range courses in America by Golf Range Magazine and all profits from the course go to benefit the East Lake Foundation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eastlakefoundation.org/east-lake-partners|title=East Lake Partners - Community Redevelopment - Atlanta, Georgia|publisher=East Lake Foundation|access-date=April 2, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160402072146/http://eastlakefoundation.org/east-lake-partners|archive-date=April 2, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Charlie Yates]] was an East Lake golfer who won the [[British Amateur]] at [[Royal Troon Golf Club]] in 1938. Charlie grew up on Second Avenue, the street which separated East Lake's main course from its No. 2 course. His boyhood hero was Bobby Jones, whom he knew and played with on the course at East Lake.

===The Tour Championship===

[[File:East Lake Golf Club TOUR Championship.JPG|thumb|East Lake Golf Club is home to the Tour Championship]]

Since 2004 East Lake Golf Club has been the permanent location of the [[Tour Championship]], the finale of the [[PGA Tour]] Playoffs and the [[FedEx Cup]].  The Tour Championship is also one of the largest supporters of the East Lake Foundation.

===East Lake Cup===
In May 2015 it was announced that East Lake would be the site of a new collegiate golf tournament, the East Lake Cup. In partnership with the [[Golf Channel]] the East Lake Cup invites the top men's and women's teams from the previous season to compete in a [[match play]] championship each November. The tournament is broadcast on the Golf Channel. The inaugural East Lake Cup was played November 2 and 3, 2015. The champions of the first year's tournament were [[Illinois Fighting Illini|Illinois]] (men's) and [[USC Trojans|USC]] (women's).<ref name="golfchannel.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.golfchannel.com/news/ryan-lavner/eyes-ncaas-after-illinois-usc-win-inaugural-east-lake-cup/|title=Eyes on NCAAs after Illinois, USC win East Lake Cup - Golf Channel|date=November 4, 2015 }}</ref>

The 2016  the tournament added a day of [[stroke play]] to the competition with Illinois winning on the men's side and Duke winning on the women's side. The men's and women's winners of the 2017 East Lake Cup were respectively Vanderbilt University and the University of Southern California. The 2018 winner's were Auburn for the men's side and USC on the women's side.
