The Orchard Golf & Country Club

 

Overview

A great alternative to the Highlands area of North Carolina, this community is sheltered by the Chattahoochee National Forest and graced by the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains. Just 80 miles northeast of Atlanta and 80 miles southwest of Greenville, SC, The Orchard captures the spirit of peaceful, fresh-air, mountain living in a private golf club environment. Besides the Country Club's own elaborate recreational amenities, the area abounds with opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Nearby Lake Rabun, Lake Burton and Highlands, NC have provided weekend getaways for generations of Atlanta families. Marina facilities are available for swimming, fishing, boating and water skiing. Add to the adventure with hiking, backpacking and camping at The Chattahoochee National Forest and The Appalachian Trail. Enjoy white water rafting, snow skiing and everything in between. In addition to recreational activities, visitors have an abundance of nearby restaurants to select from, as well as antique and craft shops.
