Atlanta Athletic Club (AAC), founded in 1898, is a private country club inJohns Creek, Georgia, a suburb 23 miles north ofAtlanta. The original home of the club was a 10-story building located on Carnegie Way, and in 1904 a golf course was built on Atlanta's East Lake property. In 1908,John Heisman (theGeorgia Tech football coach for whom theHeisman Trophy was named) was hired as the AAC athletic director.

While it was downtown, its team placed third in the 1921Amateur Athletic Union NationalBasketball Championship defeatingLowe and Campbell Athletic Goods 36–31 in the third place game.[1] At the time colleges, athletic clubs, and factory-sponsored clubs all competed in the same league.

It built 3 9-hole golf courses in 1967, in a then-unincorporated area ofFulton County that had aDuluth mailing address and would eventually become Johns Creek in 2006. In 1968, the AAC sold the East Lake property. The vacated East Lake site becameEast Lake Golf Club and was refurbished during the 1990s. It is now the home ofThe Tour Championship, the annual final event of thePGA Tour.

AAC hosted the 1950U.S. Women's Amateur and 1963Ryder Cup at East Lake, the 1976U.S. Open, the 1981, 2001 and 2011PGA Championships, and the 2021KPMG PGA Women's Championship on its Highlands Course, and the 1990U.S. Women's Open on its Riverside Course. The AAC used both of its current regulation courses to host the 2014U.S. Amateur, with stroke-play qualifying on the Riverside and Highlands Courses and match play on the Highlands Course. The Riverside course, renovated byRees Jones in 2002, was recognized among the top 10 new private courses in 2004 byGolf Digest. It was renovated again in 2022 by Tripp Davis.

AAC has hosted many non-golf events including the first twoSoutheastern Conference men's basketball tournaments in 1933 and 1934. In 1984 and 1985, AAC hosted theU.S. Open Badminton Championship. During the 1990s, AAC hosted the AT&T Challenge, Atlanta's ATP professional tennis stop.

AAC has two 18-hole golf courses, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor tennis, a par-3 course, Olympic-sized pool, as well as dining.

Famous members of AAC include golfersBobby Jones,Charlie Yates,Alexa Stirling,Watts Gunn, Dot Kirby, and Tommy Barnes; tennis playersNat Thornton andBitsy Grant; and basketball playerBob Kurland.

In the 2004 filmBobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, many of the golf scenes were filmed at AAC.
