Burning Tree Club is highly praised for its beautifully maintained golf course, exceptional service, and serene setting, offering a luxurious and exclusive experience for its members.

They don't even allow Female Members hahahaha it's like the nerd club... By the way, they pay over $150,000 extra in taxes just to keep it like that every year

This is not a golf course designed by Alister Mackenzie. Don’t let sloppy people masquerading as historians tell you differently.
