Labor Day event in Stone Mountain, Georgia
The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour will return to the Atlanta metro area over Labor Day weekend. The event will be played in Stone Mountain, Georgia at Stone Mountain Golf Club. Stonemont, the original 18 hole layout, was designed and built in 1969 by the Father of Modern Golf Architecture, Robert Trent Jones Sr. Stonemont remains’ the only Jones Sr. designed course, open to the public, in the State of Georgia. His masterpiece was built in a setting "so magical that it truly seemed as though God, Himself, had created (it) with a golf course in mind," as Jones noted in 1999, in a letter to Stone Mountain Golf Club commemorating the restoration of his layout. Stonemont is laid out over gently rolling and cantered fairways of premier Bermuda grass and greens of immaculate bent grass. The par 70 layout stretches 6845 yards making it not only long, but brutish at times with its narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers and numerous stands of Georgia pines. HJGT members can register for the event by logging in and visiting the tournament schedule page.
