Golf Legend Bobby Jones’ Former Atlanta Estate Sold for $7.5 Million

The historic Atlanta residence once belonging to golf legend Bobby Jones hit the market for $8.7 million following a show-stopping renovation. It was later sold in October of 2025 for $7.5 million following some price cuts.

Purchased for $2.6 million in 2024 by Brown Trout Development LLC, the home has been completely re-imagined to embrace a historic yet modernized feel.

Located in Buckhead’s Tuxedo Park, the 7,500-square-foot Colonial-style estate features 5 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms and sits on more than 1.5 acres of prime Atlanta land.

Grand Slam Background

Built as a gift from the City of Atlanta in 1930 after Jones’ Grand Slam victory, this home is where Augusta National Golf Club and The Masters Tournament were first imagined.

See Inside Bobby’s Home

Bobby’s home opens with a striking chevron-patterned marble floor in bold black and white, grounding the double-height foyer that connects all the main living areas.

Each room branches off with its own personality, defined by intricate millwork and panel molding that give the home a timeless, architectural richness. The Instagram post from Ansley captures the craftsmanship in its purest form, completely unfurnished to highlight the home’s design on its own.

This next post from Featured Properties shows the home fully furnished, offering a lived-in perspective that transforms the grand architecture into a warm, welcoming environment.

It’s here that the property truly comes to life, blending high-end design with the comfort of everyday living. The result is a home that not only honors its golf heritage but also feels deeply personalized.

Our Favorite Living Spaces

Within Bobby Jones’ former Atlanta residence are so many unique living spaces, making it tough to pick favorites, but a few stand out for their distinctive charm.

Living Room

The core living area is a sophisticated study in layers, where a roaring fireplace is crowned by a crystal chandelier, adding a touch of luxury to the modern herringbone hardwood floors.

Richly upholstered seating in unexpected hues, deep sapphire, mustard, and plum, adds a note of eccentricity, while a mix of antique and contemporary pieces keeps the aesthetic fresh but grounded.

Artworks, both traditional and provocative, add intrigue without overwhelming the room’s calm, collected spirit.

Study

Wrapped in warm wood paneling and crowned with a checkered board coffered ceiling, the study has a feeling of timeless sophistication.

Our favorite part of this room is the arched built-ins that frame the marble fireplace, and the tall French doors with stained glass accents that add a femininity to the more masculine room.

A True “Master’s” Bedroom

Tucked beneath vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, the primary bedroom has a moody palette of deep greens and rich textures. A statement chandelier draws the eye upward, while the marble fireplace adds sculptural drama.

Framed by dramatic velvet drapery and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, the room reads as both refined and quietly decadent.

Video Tours

Probably our favorite way to truly step inside the former home of Bobby Jones is through Bonneau Ansley III’s video tours.

The first tour brings you right onto the property, offering a walkthrough that feels like you’re approaching the home yourself, passing through the gardens, catching the scale of the house, and taking in the classic exterior design that mirrors the elegance found inside.

In the second video tour, you’ll get to see the home in two very different lights, first fully furnished, then stripped back to its architectural essence, revealing the timeless craftsmanship at its core.

One of the standout features is the private chipping and putting green, designed to mimic Augusta National’s legendary 12th hole, offering a personal nod to Bobby Jones’ golfing legacy.

The green serves as a chance to conquer the hole that famously tormented Jones during the 1934 Masters, then played as the third hole in a reversed routing of the course.

New Basement Amenities

Finishing off the home are the extensive amenities added during the renovations, designed for both luxury and leisure.

As described in the Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio video, the fully finished basement includes a high-end golf simulator, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a full gym, and a billiards room, turning the lower level into a retreat of its own.

These features add even more depth to a home already rich with history and character.

The 19th Hole

Bobby Jones’s former estate in Atlanta’s prestigious Tuxedo Park neighborhood has found its new owner for $7.5 million, blending rich history with modern luxury.

The 7,500-square-foot home has been completely reimagined, yet still honors its storied past, most notably through a replica of the iconic 12th hole at Augusta National, a personal nod to Jones’s legacy as co-founder of the famed course and the Masters tournament.

Beyond the saltwater pool, spa-inspired suite, and speakeasy, the restored study and state-of-the-art kitchen allow for a modernized living experience for experienced golf enthusiasts or those who have never touched a club.
