Golf At Sky Valley
Located in a classic Mountain setting, the Sky Valley golf course opened in the mid 70’s. Bill Watts, course architect, capitalized his design using the natural features in the valley which were present long before a golf course was envisioned. With the elevation of this course the highest in Georgia, it is significantly cooler than courses elsewhere in the state.
In 2007, a major renovation and redesign was completed when noted course designer, Bill Bergin, transformed Sky Valley into a championship course. The first thing visitors notice is the lush texture of the fairways and greens of the current course. Bergin was able to utilize previously unused parcels of land to lengthen the course by 500 yards. The current length is over 6,900 yards which allows for each hole to have 7 sets of tees providing distances enjoyable by every level of player.
Golfers are invited to enjoy drinks and/or lunch at our Turn Cafe or Clubhouse Patio for Drinks and/or Lunch Tuesdays through Saturdays, April through September.
“Sky Valley can convincingly make a claim to be not only among the best mountain courses in Georgia, but among the best in the entire Southeast Mountain region.”
