About this course

Tally Mountain Golf Course sits in Tallapoosa, Georgia, a small community in the northwestern part of the state near the Alabama border. Designed by Arthur Davis, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Georgia Piedmont, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing experience. The layout takes advantage of the area's wooded landscape and topographical variation, offering golfers a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies throughout the round. Davis, who has designed numerous courses across the Southeast, typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural features of a site. At Tally Mountain, the routing moves through forested corridors and across sloping fairways, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. The greens feature moderate undulation, and strategic bunkering guards key landing areas and approach zones. The course serves both local members and visiting golfers in this rural Georgia setting, functioning as a community amenity in an area where golf facilities are relatively sparse. Tallapoosa itself is a quiet town removed from major metropolitan centers, giving Tally Mountain a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. The facility offers a straightforward golf experience focused on the game itself rather than extensive resort-style amenities, reflecting its role as a regional course serving golfers from the surrounding counties and occasional travelers passing through western Georgia.

Getting there

# Getting There

Tally Mountain Golf Course sits in the rolling piedmont of northwest Georgia, most readily accessed via Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), approximately ninety minutes southeast by car. The drive carries you northwest through the gentle rise of Georgia's interior, departing the interstate corridor for quieter state routes that wind through forested ridges and pastoral valleys characteristic of Tallapoosa's corner of Haralson County. For those flying private, the nearest option is Cartersville Airport (CTJ), roughly forty minutes north, offering a more discreet arrival into the region's quieter airspace. The final miles unfold along country roads that signal your entry into genuine golf country - a landscape of hardwoods and open fairways where Tally Mountain's course emerges as a natural extension of the terrain itself.
