Currahee Club Named Among Top Four Golf Clubs in the Nation
BEST GOLF CLUBS IN THE NATION
Currahee Club, a stunning 1,200-acre gated community located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains boasting a 7,513-yard golf course overlooking Lake Hartwell, was recently honored as a top four finalist at The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA)’s 2015 “Golf Club of the Year” awards ceremony. This selection was announced at NGCOA’s Annual Conference, the golf industry’s largest gathering of owners and operators of daily fee, private, resort and municipal courses.
“The entire Currahee Club community is honored to receive this most coveted annual award,” said Andrew Ward, President at Currahee Club. “To be recognized by such an elite group of esteemed peers on a national level further drives our continued dedication to providing a world-class golf experience worthy of such a distinction.”
The club was recognized for exceling in the categories of quality, ownership and management, contributions to the community and to the game of golf. As part of the finalist selection, NGCOA noted of Currahee Club’s golf course, “Taking advantage of the natural contours of the land, acclaimed golf course architect Jim Fazio succeeded in crafting a 7,513-yard championship masterpiece that plays even better than it looks.”
This award comes on the heels of multiple recent Currahee Club accolades including The Georgia Golf Course Owners/Operators Association’s selection of Currahee Club as the “#1 Best Golf Club in Georgia,” Golf Week magazine’s “Top 100 Residential Golf Courses,” and most recently, the “Best Georgia Community of the Year” Bliss Award by Community Finder.
The multi-award-winning golf club is the crowning jewel of the Currahee Club where both residents and members take pleasure in panoramic views of mountain, lake and sky, as
well as a plethora of golf, dining and clubhouse amenities. For those who desire to make Currahee Club home, residential options include a mix of charming Cotswold-style cottages, beautiful mountain Manor lakeside and golf course homes. Home-sites range in price from $79,000 to $425,000 and homes start at $375,000.
