An exclusive look at Ohoopee Match Club: Gil Hanse narrated our new hole-by-hole video | Courses

Ohoopee Match Club is unlike most new courses for a lot of reasons. Designed for match play as the name suggests, Hanse and Wagner were liberated from the constructs usually associated with laying out a course—focusing instead on utilizing the most heroic strategies that the gently rolling terrain called for. The bold features and unique greens follow the Ohoopee River about two hours from Atlanta in Cobbtown, Ga., nearby to Vidalia, which is famous for its onions and thus inspired the club’s onion logo. The sandy soil perfect for onion growth made for a great canvas for golf. Some of the views generate images of Pine Valley or Pinehurst, or as Hanse describes in the video below, perhaps even Australia with some of his bunker shaping it.
