About this course

High Hampton's golf course is as much a portal to simpler times as it is a challenging test of mountain golf. Carved into the dramatic landscape of Cashiers, North Carolina, the course embraces its elevation changes, offering views as stirring as the approach shots they often require. Originally conceived by George W. Cobb in the Golden Age of course design, High Hampton's fairways wind through a landscape marked by rhododendron and hardwoods. The course favors strategic play over brute force, demanding careful club selection and an appreciation for the land's natural contours. Doglegs and strategically placed bunkers penalize the errant shot, while subtly sloping greens reward precision. Generations of families have tested their skills here, creating a layered history of cherished memories and quiet competition. Beyond the golf, High Hampton has become synonymous with a laid-back mountain escape, fostering a strong sense of community among its members and guests. The Club’s welcoming atmosphere extends from the first tee to the post-round gatherings, where stories are shared and new traditions are born. For those seeking a respite from the modern world, High Hampton offers a timeless experience where golf and camaraderie intertwine.

Getting there

The journey to High Hampton Inn & Country Club begins at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), situated roughly ninety minutes northwest through the rolling foothills of western North Carolina, or alternatively via Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), a two-and-a-half-hour drive that carries you deeper into the Blue Ridge Mountains. From either gateway, the final approach winds southward into Cashiers, a secluded mountain hamlet where the landscape shifts from pastoral valleys into dense evergreen forest and crystalline lakes, the elevation climbing steadily as you ascend into the cool, mist-touched highlands. The last miles unfold along quiet country roads that seem to narrow and slow time itself, revealing glimpses of the club's pristine grounds - its championship course nestled among rhododendron thickets and ancient hardwoods - before arriving at the inn's welcoming entrance, where the mountain air and unhurried pace signal your passage into one of the Southeast's most intimate and timeless golf retreats.
