The course at Stone Mountain was designed by Jay Morrish, who began his distinguished career with Robert Trent Jones and subsequently worked with George Fazio. He then joined Jack Nicklaus’s design firm in 1972 and participated in the design and construction of many Nicklaus courses until 1982. As the demand for golf courses increased in the early 80s, Jay decided to pursue a partnership with Tom Weiskopf which would see them create many top-quality layouts together.
