Button Gwinnett
The Button Gwinnett course takes it name from a former resident who was one of the fifty-six men that signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, thus becoming one of America’s immortals. His unusual first name is derived from his uncle Sir Thomas Button, a naval explorer famous for charting the American north west coast. With an American theme the Button Gwinnett boasts 13 lakes spread over 18 holes. At a Championship level this course offers a good challenge to all categories of golfer as well as offering the most fantastic views across the Vale. The last three holes have been newly designed including the 16th, which has similarities to the 16th of Augusta with water from Tee to Green. The 17th plays up to a Plateau green and to finish you play the picturesque 18th over a large water feature in view of the Clubhouse. A Tricky but enjoyable Course.
