Chatuge Shores Golf Course

Young Harris, GA · 5.1 mi away

The golf course at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa sits in Young Harris, Georgia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near the state's highest peak, Brasstown Bald. Designed by architect Denis Griffiths, the Scottish links-style course opened along with the resort in 1995 on land that had previously been an ancient Cherokee village site. Griffiths routed the course to take advantage of the existing terrain, with rolling hills, bentgrass greens, and water coming into play on ten of the eighteen holes as the layout winds through wildlife preserves, ponds, and streams. The design uses only a small fraction of the resort's wooded acreage, and the course has been noted as one of the more environmentally sensitive properties of its kind in the country. Brasstown Valley operates as a resort course open to hotel guests and the public through the resort's golf packages, with tee times bookable directly through the resort alongside overnight stays.

Achasta Golf Club is located in the North Georgia mountains near Dahlonega, about an hour north of Atlanta, within a golf community along the Chestatee River. The 18-hole course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and winds along the Chestatee River for more than half its holes, including a par-3 played to a green on an island in the river. The layout features Bermuda greens and takes advantage of the surrounding mountain terrain. Achasta operates as a semi-private, par-72 club; non-members may play but must rent a cart and are restricted from starting before noon on Saturdays. Amenities include a driving range, putting green, and on-site pro shop with instruction available, and the course is open year-round.
