The Achasta Golf Community is home to one of the most celebrated golf courses in the Southeast: an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course nestled in the foothills of North Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you’re a weekend golfer or a scratch handicapper, playing Achasta is a bucket-list experience.
About the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Achasta
Jack Nicklaus has designed some of the world’s greatest golf courses, and the Achasta course stands among his finest regional works. What makes it special is the way it uses the natural landscape — the Chestatee River winds through the property, creating water hazards, stunning views, and one-of-a-kind hole layouts that you won’t find anywhere else.
More than half the holes border or cross the Chestatee River, giving players the feeling of playing alongside the water throughout their round. The Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop adds to the visual drama at every turn.
