This club has three nine hole courses that are played in three
eighteen hole combinations. The original course was especially
designed with seniors in mind. This is a very scenic resort on
the Appalachian Trail. The Cherokee Course, designed by Rocky
Roquemore, is the newest nine built in 1992. It is described by
the course professional as a "target" course. The Choctaw
Course, with the Creek Course, comprise the original eighteen
holes built back in 1972. These courses play fair because there
are no blind shots and all the trouble is visible. These two
courses favor straight tee shots. The rough is playable, but any
ball hit beyond the rough into the trees will probably not be
found. |
