Unique Club/Facility Details

Nestled in the North Georgia mountains and overlooking the pristine shores of Lake Burton, Waterfall Club offers some of the most breathtaking scenery found anywhere. The private club was designed as a refreshing retreat from the responsibilities and deadlines of the “real world.” At the heart of Waterfall Club is a spectacular 18 hole golf course designed by Scott Pool.  This mountain course features bentgrass greens, fairways, and tees and is one of only two golf courses in Georgia with that distinction. The centerpiece of the course is the second hole with the tee boxes atop a 210 foot waterfall with the green 186 yards below.  Don’t be fooled by the distance, but be prepared to have your breath taken away!


An amazing golf experience is just where the fun begins. Waterfall Club also has a 52,000 square foot Athletic Center complete with a sauna, steam room, spa, Junior Olympic swimming pool, indoor tennis, basketball and much more. With the Appalachian Trail and Lake Burton just outside of our gates of the Club, you will never be short of adventure while enjoying your time at Waterfall.


From the picture postcard setting for outdoor recreation, to a refined array of indoor amenities, and staff ready to respond to your every need, Waterfall Club will exceed your expectations. Whether you are drawn to the splendor of the surrounding Chattahoochee and Nantahala National Forests, the emerald green lake and golf course, the energy of the Athletic Center, or the culinary treats of The Lodge, Waterfall is a true getaway from all your worries.

Club is open 7 days per week, 12 months per year.
