Leaves a Lasting Impression

Woodlands | Hole 2 | Par 4 | This dogleg left winds through rolling meadows and countryside, with bunkering challenging both the tee shot and approach. The name pays tribute to Woodlands, the North Georgia estate established by Godfrey Barnsley, and to the idyllic landscape that first drew him here.

The Alley | Hole 3 | Par 3 | A hillside running parallel along the left and a creek and lowlands bordering the right create the natural alley through which the hole plays. Even the long, narrow teeing grounds reinforce the unmistakable illusion of an alley ahead.

The Gambler | Hole 9 | Par 5 | A risk-and-reward finish to the outward nine where the golfer must decide when to take the bet and when to play the percentages. The reward belongs not simply to the bold, but to the player who knows which gamble is worth taking.

Dugan | Hole 11 | Par 4 | This dramatic dogleg left climbs to a crowned green set into the hillside. Like K.O. Dugan himself, conquering it requires a well-placed knockout punch delivered squarely on the jaw.

Mountain View | Hole 14 | Par 3 | The North Georgia mountain setting beyond the hole commands attention. Admire it too long and it’s easy to overlook the danger close at hand: the pond guarding the green short and right.

Godfrey | Hole 18 | Par 4 | A formidable finishing hole, with water threatening the tee shot on the left before a long uphill approach to a well-bunkered green. It provides a fitting final tribute to Godfrey Barnsley and his vision for an idyllic North Georgia estate, where nearly two centuries later, the sporting life continues to flourish at this one-of-a-kind resort.
