The Keep is the second 18 at McLemore in Rising Fawn, Georgia, on the western brow of Lookout Mountain. Bill Bergin and Rees Jones designed it, and it opened for play in 2024 alongside the resort's original layout. The routing works along and back from the edge of the mountain, so several holes play toward long views out over McLemore Cove. Wide short-grass corridors, exposed brow-edge holes and a par 3 played from the rim give the course its character, and wind off the valley is a regular factor. The Keep is open to resort and public play, booked through McLemore.

Nob North Golf Course sits in the rolling hills of Whitfield County, Georgia, a Gary Player design that opened as a public daily-fee layout. The 18-hole routing threads through hardwood-lined fairways with several ponds and creeks in play, most notably on the short par-5 first, where a lake waits for tee shots leaked too far left. Player set the course up to reward positioning over raw distance, with reachable par 5s, a drivable short par 4 on the second, and a compact par 3 fifth that guards one of the trickiest greens on the property. The front and back nines move across gentle elevation changes, and bunkering frames the landing areas rather than dominating them. Tiered greens appear throughout, including a three-tiered surface on the third and a two-tiered green on the fourth, so the wrong level leaves a long, breaking putt. Water is a steady presence, with creeks bordering par 4s and ponds protecting approaches, and the par-3 fifth demands a precise short iron to a tight pin. Nob North operates as a public course with daily tee times, annual passholder options, and tournament hosting. The facility offers online tee-time booking, a mobile app, membership packages, and a pro shop, with hours running from early morning into the evening across the week. The course is walkable in feel, with carts available, and the routing returns conveniently to the clubhouse. Whitfield County's tree cover and hillside setting give Nob North a quiet, leafy character, and the design keeps it playable for casual golfers while still challenging lower handicaps from the black tees. It is a public-access course with no membership required to book a round.
