McLemore Featured in Golf’s must play public courses to open in 2024
The Keep
Rising Fawn, Ga.
Scheduled opening: Fall
If the name sounds to you like it was plucked from “Game of Thrones,” you’re not far off. It is actually a nod to the kind of cliff-top castles you might come across in Europe from which approaching armies could be seen for miles. As for The Keep itself, it’s the second 18-hole course at McLemore (like its sibling, it’s the handiwork of Bill Bergin and Rees Jones), a mountaintop retreat in northwest Georgia, and it looks the part, with a stretch of arresting cliff-edge that overlook a valley, some 1,000 feet below.
