Sugarloaf Country Club
Set among 1,200 gently rolling acres
filled with towering century-old trees, including pines, maples
and oaks, TPC Sugarloaf, which since 1998 has played host to the
PGA TOUR’s BellSouth Classic (the AT&T Classic as of 2007), is a
parkland golf course with inherent natural beauty that Norman
went to great pains to preserve, and what’s more, accentuate.
On land that once was Rollins Farm, where entrepreneur Wayne
Rollins and his family bred award-winning cattle and Tennessee
walking horses, he routed an exacting 7,259-yard, par-72 layout
that opened to raves among course reviewers and fellow PGA TOUR
players. Norman also designed an additional nine holes on the
Sugarloaf premises.
 "This
place can move you; it is a very special place,” said Norman,
the two-time British Open champion and recent World Golf Hall of
Fame inductee, who has channeled some of his immense competitive
energy into golf course design. “Some golf courses can really
touch a part of you and make you feel energized or inspired.
That’s how Augusta (National Golf Club) feels and I get the same
sensation at Sugarloaf. There’s a similar beauty and awe about
it.”
The course itself offers other
benefits. Like most TPC layouts, Sugarloaf is fully certified
in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for golf courses.
Thanks to golf course superintendent Mike Crawford, it also was
selected as a chapter award winner for the 2001 and 2006 GCSAA
Environmental Steward Awards, which recognizes superintendents
for overall course management excellence, including areas of
technology use, resource conservation, water quality management,
integrated pest management, and wildlife and habitat management.
