Golf

Mountaintop’s Golf Course was designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio, and sits as one of the top-100 ranked golf courses in the US. Featuring unique mountain landscape challenges at every hole and expertly maintained conditions, golf enthusiasts will delight in all this course has to offer. Tom arrived to the Cashiers plateau in the mid-80s, and since then he has only designed six courses here, three of which are in Cashiers; Mountaintop, Wade Hampton, and High Hampton. Known as a fanatic for perfection, Tom surveyed the landscape of Mountaintop for days in order to envision a course that would meld the beauty of the mountain setting with enticing golf challenges dictated by the changing topography. His precision of design is evident in the stunning vistas that meet you at every hole and the state-of-the-art engineering that informs the flow of the course. Come experience it all for yourself!
