The Course
Hole 1 – Par 5. 521 yards. Handicap 4. Fairway drops severely off the tee and your approach is uphill. Use your driver to clear the fairway bunker. Stay left to avoid the water hazard on the right. 
Hole 2 – Par 3. 182 yards. Handicap 16. Use enough club to carry the front bunker. 
Hole 3 – Par 4. 357 yards. Handicap 12. High risk, high reward, best to leave your driver in the bag and lay up with a fairway wood of iron. The green slopes from back to front so keep the ball short of the pin. 
Hole 4 – Par 4, 402 yards. Handicap 8. A down hill dogleg left. Take it down the left side for a good approach to the green. 
Hole 5 – Par 4, 285 yards. Handicap at 18. Short par 4. Use a fairway wood or long iron off the tee. The fairway gently slopes up to the green. 
Hole 6 – Par 5, 526 yards, Handicap 6. Use your driver off the elevated tee and carry it over the left fairway bunker to reach the green in two. 
Hole 7 – Par 4, 416 yards, Handicap 2. A tough dogleg right from an elevated tee box. Use your driver from the blue tees or your 200 yard club from the white tees to carry the fairway bunker. Stay right to keep it in play. 
Hole 8 – Par 3. 175 yards. Handicap 14. Avoid hitting it left down a huge slope and be cautious of the cart path on the right. 
Hole 9 – Par 4. 425 yards. Handicap 10. Use a fairway wood from the white tees. Keep your approach shot short of the pin. The green has two tiers and takes an extra club if the pin is back. 
Hole 10 – Par 5. 531 yards. Handicap 3. Toughest par 5 in Georgia! And the best view! Keep your driver in the bag. Most important to keep it in the middle with fairway woods and mid irons. Be happy with bogey. 
Hole 11 – Par 3. 170 yards. Handicap 15. Steep, downhill. use 1-2 less clubs. Hit it past the pin for an uphill putt. 
Hole 12 – Par 4. 335 yards. Handicap 11. Usually a blind tee shot, hit a fairway wood to keep from reaching the pond. On your approach, use enough club to clear the bunker in front. 
Hole 13 – Par 4. 270 yards. Handicap 17. Use your fairway wood or long iron off the tee on the gently up sloping fairway, dogleg right. If the pin is in the back, use enough club on your approach shot to get the ball on the back tier on this two tiered green. 
Hole 14 – Par 5. 525 yards. Handicap 5. Take a chance and hit it over the left corner with a 3 wood to get to the green in 2 on this high risk, high reward hole. Steep downhill tee shot, aim between the bunker and the trees on the left. 
Hole 15 – Par 4. 410 yards. Handicap 1. Use your driver from the blue tees to clear the hazard but keep it right to avoid the reachable water on the left. Good luck! 
Hole 16 – Par 3. 230 yards. Handicap 9. What you see is what you get. Hit it straight. Avoid the bunkers, par will be in the bag! 
Hole 17 – Par 4. 310 yards. Handicap 13. Long hitters can reach the green off the tee if your willing to take a big risky chance on the downhill dogleg right. Best to lay up with a fairway wood or long iron and stay right of the left fairway bunker.

Mountain Golf At It’s Finest!
North Georgia’s hidden gem is a public golf course located 5 miles north of Ellijay, Georgia; just 1 1/2 hours north of Atlanta. The golf course itself is a reflection of the mountains which surround it. The 8 acre Whitepath Lake and the Ellijay River highlight several other creeks and ponds spread out along the course.
