Twelve holes at 4,600 feet in the Blue Ridge. The Donald Ross design dates to 1965, though the club itself traces back further. Mountain terrain means elevation changes throughout, but the routing keeps things manageable for walking. Private and exclusive, with the kind of understated atmosphere old-money Highlands does well. The 12-hole format means faster rounds and less ground to cover on foot. Summer temperatures rarely break 80, making this ideal walking weather when lowland courses turn brutal.
