the club at shoal creek after the storm 1

That day changed our lives and the course’s history forever. Four tornadoes ripped through The Club at Shoal Creek and caused catastrophic damage. We are grateful that there was no immediate loss of life in the community, but the shock and the aftermath were challenging to process. The course was closed for 11 months while volunteers, churches, neighbors, family, friends, the great people of Griffin, and dedicated staff stood by our side.

The Scope of Damage

We are often asked, “How many trees did you lose?” The answer is difficult to quantify, as the devastation varied across the course. Holes 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 took a direct hit, while Holes 2 through 6 lost about a dozen trees. In all, the estimate is that over 2,000 trees were lying on the ground while another 1,000 trees needed to be mitigated. All structures on the property, including the entrance and the clubhouse, were either damaged or destroyed.

Moving Forward with Determination

Despite this significant setback, The Club at Shoal Creek is committed to bouncing back stronger than ever. We have poured our hearts and soul into revitalizing The Club, and we are determined to see this through. While we were able to get the pool open in May of 2023 and the golf course open in December 2023, storm cleanup and improvements are ongoing.

“Truly amazing what the owners and staff have accomplished with the Club at Shoal Creek over the last year. The course is in the best shape I’ve ever personally seen it and they continue to make improvements seemingly every week. This is definitely a course you need play as soon as you get the chance!”

“We played on Friday, first time since y’all have opened back up and I give y’all a 105! Can tell y’all have really put time into it, even more than just the clean up. We were more than satisfied and will be back!”
