Thinking About Living in Green Island Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Green Island Country Club and the surrounding Columbus golf market.
Green Island Country Club sits at the center of Green Island Hills, a named, upscale residential neighborhood in Columbus along the Chattahoochee River (Lake Oliver views), with homes typically in the $400,000+ range and among the higher-income neighborhoods in the area. The club's own materials trace the concept to the late 1950s, tied to a Georgia Power hydroelectric-dam project, with the course opening around 1960-1961.
Golf & Course
Most sources describe a George Cobb design opening circa 1960-1961; one secondary source (a GolfDigest course-finder listing) instead cites an 1898 founding and Willard Byrd design, a discrepancy not resolved this session. The club hosted the 2001 Georgia State Amateur Championship.
