Golf Course
18-Hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Design · Along the Chestatee River · Dahlonega, Georgia
A Jack Nicklaus
Signature Masterpiece
The Achasta Golf Course is an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Design — one of golf’s most coveted designations, bestowed only on courses personally crafted by the Golden Bear himself. Winding dramatically along the banks of the Chestatee River, the course weaves through pristine North Georgia hardwood forest, crossing the river multiple times on its journey through the mountains.
