The gem of Achasta's friendly and active community is Achasta Golf Course, a 6,995-yard par-72 layout. The Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course is nestled in the Chestatee river valley. Golfers enjoy a challenging yet playable masterpiece, with lush fairways and bent grass greens that roll gently past beautiful views of the Chestatee River and the surrounding mountains. The river plays a major role on approximately over half of the holes, with a unique, river island fifth-hole.
Home of the PGA Tour's 2007-2008 AT&T Classic Qualifier, 2002-2006 Bell South Classic Open Qualifier, 2002 Georgia State Amateur Qualifier, 2003 US Open Qualifier and the 2004 Georgia State Mid-Am Qualifier.
The Club is complete with a practice facility, including chipping and putting greens. A full service Pro Shop and men and women’s locker room complete the golf experience. Inside the Clubhouse, the Main Dining Room and Grill Lounge are perfectly suited for both the informal and formal dining experiences. For more intimate groups, our Private Dining Room can accommodate up to 20 guests. If an outdoor banquet or cookout is what you are seeking, the covered patio is the ideal setting. Best of all, all of our facilities overlook the beautiful Chestatee River.
