A place to create memories and life-long friendships.

The Highlands Golf  Experience

The course was designed by Donald Ross and hewn in 1928 from the mountainous terrain of the Highlands Plateau. At an altitude approaching 4000 feet, the course is not overly demanding for the average golfer, but demands accuracy, particularly on approach shots. Envisioned and nurtured by its founders, the Club and golf course have been a haven for families for over 90 years.

  • The Golf Experience
    • Simply memorable! A special experience!

       These are typical reflections on a round of golf at Highlands Country Club, whether a member in a daily group, a spouse competing in a tournament, a grandchild at Junior Golf Camp or a guest attending your special daughter’s wedding. The chance to play again among the wild azalea, mountain laurel, rhododendron and dogwood.

      At Highlands Country Club we recognize the golf experience as a place to create memories and life long friendships. The course was designed by Donald Ross and hewn in 1928 from the mountainous terrain of the Highlands Plateau. At an altitude approaching 4000 feet, the course is not overly demanding for the average golfer, but demands accuracy, particularly on approach shots. Envisioned and nurtured by its founders, the Club and golf course have been a haven for families for over 85 years. Bob Jones maintained a home on club property for many years.

       The ecosystem of the Highlands plateau provides a unique physical venue for our club and golf course. We are committed to sustaining these precious natural assets. Our sustainability programs have earned recognition as GEO Certified, Groundwater Guardian Greensite and Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary - all of which we value highly.

  • Tradition of Events
    • Each season - from the Spring Fling, to the Tartan Classic, to the Fall Finale - numerous golf events anchor the social and recreational life of Highlands Country Club. Our members and staff value and sustain the tradition of amateur competition so important to our legacy. Hosted by the Club and captained by former Walker Cup players, the Bob Jones Invitational, benefiting the Highlands-Cashiers Health Foundation, is but one example. Our tournaments cater to couples, guests, and different age groups, providing competitive opportunities to golfers at all skill levels.

      In support of the greater Highlands community, the Club traditionally provides access for local charitable events. In addition to the Bob Jones Invitational, we host tournaments for the employees of the Town of Highlands and for the Highlands Rotary Club.

Hole #1
PAR 4

#1 Tee . 374 #2 . 363 #3 . 318 #4 . 316

HOLE DESCRIPTION

Our starting hole requires a straight drive down the left side of the fairway. From the fairway you should have a mid to short iron to a green that slopes from the back left to the front right. An approach shot left below the hole location can lead to a very makeable putt.

PRO TIP

Approach shot plays uphill about a half club. If you miss your approach shot, miss short. Any miss long can make for a tough up and down.
