Whitepath at Whitepath Golf Club

Whitepath Golf Club sits in the North Georgia mountains near Ellijay, a small town known for its apple orchards and proximity to the Chattahoochee National Forest. The course was designed by Rocky Roquemore, a regional architect who has worked primarily in the southeastern United States. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the southern Appalachian foothills, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in hole design and playing angles.

The routing takes advantage of the topography, with holes moving through wooded corridors and across ridgelines that offer views of the surrounding mountain landscape. Fairways typically follow the land's natural movement, and greens are positioned to incorporate slope and drainage patterns common to the region. Water features appear on several holes, and the tree-lined character creates defined playing corridors that require accuracy from the tee.

Ellijay's location in Gilmer County places Whitepath within a region that has seen modest residential and recreational development over recent decades, as the area attracts visitors seeking mountain scenery and outdoor recreation. The course serves both members and guests looking for golf in a setting removed from metropolitan Atlanta, roughly ninety minutes to the south. The club operates as part of the broader community of mountain courses in North Georgia, where elevation and climate create playing conditions distinct from the state's piedmont and coastal regions.
