Golf in Macon

Macon is the county seat of Bibb County and one of Georgia's larger cities, situated at the fall line of the Ocmulgee River near the geographic center of the state. The city is celebrated for its musical heritage as the birthplace of Otis Redding and Little Richard and the home of the Allman Brothers Band, who made Macon famous in rock music's early 1970s golden era. Macon's cultural assets include a notable collection of antebellum Greek Revival architecture, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, and the Tubman Museum. Macon-Bibb County consolidated its government in 2014, and the city's downtown has benefited from sustained reinvestment centered on its history and arts community.
