Living in The Overlook at Marietta Country Club
The Overlook at Marietta Country Club is a Kennesaw neighborhood with a 28-acre spring-fed lake, a pool with its own water-slide tower and a country club right across the street. It's easy to mix it up with the club itself, so here's the short version: the club is the club, and The Overlook is the neighborhood next door with its own homeowners association and its own amenity center.
The Overlook's association lists its address as 2187 Tayside Crossing, Kennesaw, GA. Marietta Country Club sits across the street at 1400 Marietta Country Club Drive NW, in the shadow of Kennesaw Mountain, where the club moved in 1990.
Commutes are personal, so run yours in a map app at the hour you'd actually leave. Do a weekend loop too: the mountain trails, Swift-Cantrell Park and the club are all close enough to test on one Saturday.

The association describes two kinds of homes: single-family houses and townhomes. That mix is a little unusual for a club-adjacent neighborhood, and it means the streets don't all look alike. Drive the single-family streets, then the townhome sections, and notice how close each one sits to the lake and the amenity center.
Exterior changes follow the association's rules, so ask for the covenants and design guidelines before you plan a fence, a paint color or an addition.
According to the HOA, the amenity center includes:
That water slide is the kind of thing you don't expect to find in a neighborhood pool, and the lake gives the whole place a calm, open feel. Ask the association about current pool hours, guest rules and tennis reservations.
They're neighbors, not the same thing. Marietta Country Club is a private club founded in Marietta in 1915. It moved to its current site near Kennesaw Mountain in 1990 and added a third nine in 2005, so it now has 27 holes. Living in The Overlook doesn't make you a club member, and club membership doesn't come with a house. If you'd like both, ask the club about membership separately.

Kennesaw Mountain. The National Park Service trail to the top of Big Kennesaw Mountain runs 1.1 miles from the visitor center with about 700 feet of climbing, and the summit view reaches the Atlanta skyline. Bring water and a little patience for the last stretch.
Swift-Cantrell Park. At 3140 Old 41 Highway, the City of Kennesaw's largest community park has a one-mile perimeter trail, a splash pad, a dog park, a skatepark and a large inclusive playground.
The Overlook is run by a homeowners association with a professional manager; the association lists the manager's line as (770) 554-1236.

Townhomes and single-family homes can carry different fees, so confirm which applies.
