The Lodge at Waterfall offers several dining venues and a spectacular building with dramatic beautiful views. The Stiles Porch is eclectic, ala carte dining at its best. The panoramic mountain view was even featured in a major Hollywood movie. Outdoor fireplaces extend the dining season from the cool spring season, to the autumn leaf season, all the way to the holidays. The Overlook serves casual fare, cocktails from an outdoor bar and al fresco dining during the summer season. The Dining Room is an elegant setting for special occasions, group dining or a quiet date night. All of these dining outlets are perched 800 feet directly over the pristine emerald green waters of Lake Burton. The Waterfall Grille provides an American Club lunch and services the needs of members while experiencing the many activities in the Athletic Center and golf course. It features a members lounge serving member cocktails, wine and beer. The original fireplace from the former horse farmhouse is roaring seasonally and HDTVs allow members and guests to catch their favorite event in a casual setting. The Waterfall Grille is versatile enough to host outings and parties with dining inside or outside under our covered rocking chair porch. The Sandtrap Grille is positioned on the golf course after hole #9 serving grab and go lunch, along with snacks, cold drinks on an honor system with an attendant on the weekends and busy holidays to help you with all your needs.

Special Club Features

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.
