With their home purchases, residents of the Pinehurst neighborhood in Heron Bay live in a country club community at an affordable price and can now begin enjoying those amenities, including the lake with opportunities for fishing, boating and other outdoor activities, as they are completed.

Community life centers around the just-opened 5,000 sq. ft. lodge in Heron Bay, which is also serving as the development's information center. This building has a great room, meeting rooms, fitness center, library, and children's play room, and it can be utilized for community gatherings, homeowner association meetings, and other events. A verandah and arbor with an outdoor fireplace overlook the community's aquatic center has heated pools including a junior olympic-sized swimming pool, zero entry pool with splash fountain, water slide and a mushroom forest.

The 18-hole championship golf course, which was designed, developed and managed by Canongate Golf Clubs, recently had its opening and has a clubhouse with a pro shop and grill, a driving range, and a practice range.

Other amenities include lighted tennis courts, children's play park, sports field, and miles of nature trails which are adjacent to the Cubihatcha Outdoor Center, a county nature trail system and preserve. An additional swim and tennis center is in the planning for the future.

Located on Hwy. 155 approximately five miles from Exit 216 off Interstate 75 and just 30 minutes southeast of downtown Atlanta, Heron Bay is situated along the eastern shoreline of the 1,100-acre Cole Reservoir. Pinehurst at Heron Bay, which is in the Henry County portion of the development, is directly across from the community's amenities area.

Gwinnett-based Brayson Homes, which was founded in 1977, has sold over 7,500 new homes during its 27-year history. The company is active in Gwinnett, DeKalb, South Fulton, Clayton, Coweta, Newton, Paulding and Henry County markets.
