Escalante Golf, boutique owner and operator of luxury golf properties across 17 states, acquired Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, Ga. 

This June, Hawks Ridge will be one of 10 U.S. courses to host final qualifying for the 126th U.S. Open Championship, marking the ninth time it has been selected for this honor. 

Childhood friends Mike Nixon and Joe Jillson founded the club after searching far and wide for the best land they could find in greater Atlanta.
