Apple Mountain, nestled in the foothills of the Georgia Mountains near Clarkesville, is a public course that provides a challenging, fair test of golf amid stunning scenery. It is known among locals as a good value. Originally designed in the late 1980s, Apple Mountain presents a modern layout characterized by generous fairways and undulating greens. The elevation changes throughout the course, favoring players who can effectively manage their distances and read the breaks on the receptive putting surfaces. Apple Mountain does not often disadvantage a player with a hook or a slice, with several dog legs providing players to play the shape they see. While Apple Mountain may not host major championships, it is a staple for local tournaments and charity events, fostering a strong sense of community among golfers in the northeast Georgia region.
