We couldn't be happier or more proud of The Fall Line East Course being voted by @GolfDigest as the Best New Private Course in the US! Forever grateful to the ownership for putting their faith in a bunch of Australians to deliver something unique & special in Butler, Georgia.

My thoughts on Fall Line are that it is a remarkable achievement and that @OCMGolf is about to explode on to the golf architecture/development scene in the U.S. The East Course is fantastic. I am a huge fan of heathland-style golf, and somehow, in the middle-of-nowhere Georgia, they captured the essence of places like Swinley Forest and Sunningdale. The West Course is, well, simply remarkable. If Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath eloped to America, settled in Georgia and birthed a child, it would be this golf course. I don’t know how they succeeded where so many others have failed, but they have replicated the Melbourne Sandbelt experience to perfection. I am not a jealous man. But the fact that members get to play true heathland golf in the morning and sandbelt golf in the afternoon, and then switch it up the next day if they so decide, without ever leaving the property or getting in a car, gives me pangs of envy for sure. For me, right out of the gate, Fall Line joins the very exclusive group of private clubs with two exceptional full-18 hole golf courses - Winged Foot, MPCC, Royal Melbourne. Both courses are World Top 100 worthy - the place is that good. And I haven’t even mentioned the absurdly cool short course they built. I can’t even imagine what the place will be like once everything else is built out.
