As the improvements are complete, we will be able to offer the members so much more in terms of dining and social offerings," said Jay Biggs, general manager.  "Our goal is to create a more relevant, vibrant, and fun hub for the community and I think our members will love the 'new' Country Club of the South."

The Country Club of the South is included in the Atlanta Society, which gives members the opportunity to take advantage of the Atlanta Society membership, giving them social, dining, and golf privileges on championship courses at a select group of 16 private Atlanta-area clubs, each with its own reputation for excellence.  Members also have the option of participating in ClubCorp's industry-leading Signature Gold program, which offers complimentary golf and dining at a network of more than 200 owned or affiliated clubs around the country.
