Plan for Tee Time at the Big Canoe Golf Course

MVR - Golfing Blog

Arguably one of the best golf courses in North Georgia, the Big Canoe Golf Course features scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Sconti, flowing streams, and lofty trees. Nestled within Jasper and Dawsonville in Big Canoe, Georgia, this 27-hole championship golf course beckons golfers of all ages and skill levels to stay and play for a while. There’s even a pro shop, a driving range, practice greens, a multimillion-dollar clubhouse with dining options, plus golf lessons available. 

Within the Big Canoe gated community, there are tons of other amenities to entertain as well — including a lakeside beach club, wellness center with a sauna, 20+ miles of hiking trails, game courts (tennis, pickleball, bocce, and racquetball), playgrounds, a dog park, and exclusive restaurants. Follow our Big Canoe golf mini-guide, reserve a luxury Big Canoe rental, and get ready for a vacation to remember with family and friends in the North Georgia mountains!

Championship Golf Course

Designed by Joe Lee in 1972, the Big Canoe Golf Course is well-maintained, highly rated, and a classic North Georgia experience. There are 27 holes split into 9-hole courses: Creek, Choctaw, and Cherokee. Big Canoe Golf offers a range of difficulties with bunkers, waterfronts, and elevation challenges. 

While playing, you’ll spot mountain peaks, streams with waterfalls, picturesque valleys, and panoramic lake views. You can play a classic 72-par across 18 holes if you like or opt for 9-27 holes. Check out drone shots of each hole and download a score card before playing — Big Canoe Golf.

Golf Carts + Driving Range + Practice Greens
Golf carts with electric brakes make for comfortable drives beyond bent grass greens and along the Bermuda fairways — weave around Lake Sconti, dip into the towering trees, and stop for breathtaking mountain views. There are practice greens, 2 putting areas, a chipping area, and a driving range worth checking out.
