Old Toccoa Farm

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time of year to experience Old Toccoa Farm's unique mountain golf?

We always recommend visiting Old Toccoa Farm in the spring or fall. The vibrant fall foliage against the Blue Ridge Mountains is absolutely stunning, and the milder temperatures make for perfect playing conditions. You'll avoid the summer humidity and enjoy a truly picturesque round.

What's the biggest challenge or unique feature golfers should prepare for at Old Toccoa Farm?

The elevation changes here are significant, and the Toccoa River plays a starring role on several holes, demanding precise shot-making. You'll find yourself hitting downhill to greens that feel miles away, and then navigating tricky approaches over water- it's a true mountain golf test. Don't forget to account for the thin air on your longer shots.

Considering its North Georgia location, is Old Toccoa Farm truly worth the trip and green fee?

Absolutely, it's a standout experience in the region and offers incredible value for a mountain course of this caliber. The pristine conditions, stunning views, and thoughtful design make it a memorable round that easily justifies the drive and cost. You'll leave feeling like you discovered a hidden gem.

What are the best lodging and dining options if we want to make a golf trip out of Old Toccoa Farm?

While the course itself has some excellent on-site cabins, we often recommend staying in nearby Blue Ridge for a wider array of dining and entertainment. You'll find charming rental cabins and delicious local restaurants there, making it easy to combine your golf with a true mountain getaway. Just be sure to book your tee times well in advance.

What's one piece of practical advice you'd give someone playing Old Toccoa Farm for the first time?

Pay close attention to your club selection on the downhill holes, especially those with forced carries over the river. The ball will fly further in the mountain air, and misjudging your distance can lead to a watery grave or a lost ball in the dense woods. Trust your yardage and aim for the fat part of the greens.
