Chestatee at Chestatee Golf Club

Chestatee, nestled in the foothills near Dawsonville, is a testament to a course design that rewards strategic play over brute force. Crafted in the late 1990s, the course carves through rolling Georgia terrain, a layout more reminiscent of Carolinas golf than the rugged north Georgia mountains nearby. A player who can maneuver the ball and think their way around the course, rather than just bomb it, will enjoy a good outing.

Denis Griffiths, known for designing courses that are accessible to all skill levels, imbued Chestatee with a playability that keeps locals coming back. Chestatee is not ranked amongst the nations best, but it offers a golf experience that emphasizes Southern hospitality.

Beyond the course, Chestatee fosters a strong sense of community among its members. It’s a place where handshakes matter, and the 19th hole buzzes with stories from the day’s rounds. The Club is not known for any specific dishes of note. But is known for a family atmosphere, including events and youth programs.
