Golfweek: McLemore in Georgia announces name, logo of new clifftop course: The Keep
McLemore, already home to one of the most stunning holes in the eastern U.S. atop Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia, announced this week the name of its new 18 holes that are under construction: The Keep.
The original course at McLemore, called The Highlands, offers a major redesign by the team of Rees Jones and Bill Bergin that opened in 2019. The 18th hole features a dramatic cliffside setting with miles-long views of a valley 1,200 feet below. The Highlands ranks No. 4 on Golfweek’s Best 2023 list of top public-access courses in Georgia.
Jones and Bergin again have teamed up to design The Keep, scheduled to open in the summer of 2024. Several holes will run along the cliff’s edge with views of McLemore Cove below and Pigeon Mountain in the distance.
