The Highlands Course at The McLemore Club sits atop Lookout Mountain in Rising Fawn, Georgia, designed by Rees Jones and Bill Bergin. It plays as a cliff-edge par 71 course measuring 7,055 yards from the tips. The routing includes a set of canyon holes that run into and along an elevated ridge on the eastern side of the mountain, centered around a lake, and a run of highland holes that make up most of the back nine. The course closes with a cliff-edge par 3 along the rim overlooking McLemore Cove. It is part of the McLemore resort, with access available to members, resort guests and invited Friends of McLemore.

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.
