Old Toccoa Farm

Old Toccoa Farm, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Mineral Bluff, Georgia, is a haven where the echoes of simpler times harmonize with the modern game. This is a course where the local Cherokee once tilled the soil, a landscape now shaped by the ambition and vision of Dave Axland and Dan Proctor, who sculpted this mountain gem that favors creativity as much as power. Axland and Proctor, disciples of Coore & Crenshaw, understood the land's rolling topography. The course possesses long, undulating fairways demanding strategic shot placement. The slopes of the Blue Ridge dictate the character of each hole: expect tee shots to demand fades and approaches to favor draws. While not long, the course plays tough if out of position. The golf at Old Toccoa Farm is a journey through native grasses and hardwoods, where the surrounding vistas— the namesake Toccoa River meandering nearby — add to the challenge. The clubhouse offers a relaxed atmosphere, a testament to the club's ethos. Visitors and members are treated like family. It’s a club where the emphasis is on camaraderie around a game that’s never quite mastered. Old Toccoa Farm may not be a name instantly recognized on national lists, but within the tight-knit golfing community of North Georgia and beyond, it’s spoken of as a unique retreat. A place where the spirit of the mountains meets the soul of the game.
