Blalock Lakes Club is a private sporting club set on 1,600 acres in Newnan, Georgia, 45 miles south of Atlanta.

The club's centerpiece for gatherings is The Lodge, situated at the highest point on the property with commanding views, exposed beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, a full kitchen, and a back porch with a fire pit and lawn — a setting the club describes as ideal for private events.
