Nob North Golf Course

Nob North Golf Course sits in Cohutta, a small community in the northwest corner of Georgia near the Tennessee border and the southern edge of the Chattanooga metropolitan area. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the region's transition from the Ridge and Valley province toward the Blue Ridge Mountains, where rolling topography and mixed hardwood forests define the landscape. Gary Player's design work here reflects his approach to mountain and foothill sites, routing holes through elevation changes and natural corridors. The layout takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with holes that move across sloping terrain and through wooded sections. Player's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful course management, and these elements appear throughout the routing. The course serves both local golfers from the Cohutta area and visitors exploring northwest Georgia's golf offerings, which include several courses set in similar Appalachian foothill environments. Cohutta itself remains a quiet, rural community, and Nob North functions as a regional facility rather than a resort or tournament destination. The setting provides a wooded, relatively secluded golf experience typical of courses built in Georgia's mountainous northwest corner, where the terrain offers more dramatic elevation change than the state's coastal plain or Piedmont regions. The course represents one of several Player designs in the southeastern United States from the period when he was actively building courses alongside his competitive playing career.
