MYGOLFSPY EXPERIENCES: THE MCLEMORE
Life is chaotic. Our attention and time are constantly pulled in different directions. What better way to escape this chaos than getting lost in nature? Or, in the case of this MyGolfSpy Experience, lost “above the clouds.”
Golf and nature go hand in hand. The land is a golf course architect’s canvas. The end result should be a golf course that allows golfers of all skill levels to enjoy the game and an impeccable display of nature in all of her beauty.
Play Above the Clouds
In Rising Fawn, Ga., along the eastern part of Lookout Mountain, there is a piece of property that boasts one of the best finishing holes you’ve ever seen and some of the most breathtaking views you’ll witness on a golf course. And that’s just the beginning.
Duane Horton, the visionary behind this remarkable creation, fell in love with the property in 2017. He and the Scenic Land Company purchased what was formerly called Canyon Ridge Resort. From there, they rebranded the property to McLemore.
Once the rebranding took place, it was time to embark on a mission, to give McLemore definition and recognition. How is this accomplished? Well, Scenic Land Company sought out two distinguished golf course architects to oversee the renovation and redesign: Bill Bergin and Rees Jones.
Their first product is McLemore’s Highlands Golf Course. It is where the reality of “playing above the clouds” comes to life.
The second product is their current project, The Keep at McLemore, which will usher in a new reality of “playing above the clouds.”
