The Capital City Club of Atlanta was founded in 1883. Golf became part of the club's activity mix in 1999, when 600 acres were purchased by the Club for the planned Crabapple clubhouse and golf course. In October 2001, the 18-hole, Tom Fazio designed golf course was completed. A year later, construction on the clubhouse was finished. Since opening its doors, Crabapple has played host to numerous golf events, including the American Express WGC, the AJGA Canon Cup and the NCAA Southeast Regional, as well as the NCAA Division I National Championship (2013).
