About the course

Open afer a year-long closure from damage from Huricane Helene! Sugaree offers a diverse collection of 28 holes which weave along the contour of Sugar Mountain at 4,000 feet elevation. Boulder outcroppings, cliffs and ledges provide elevated tee pads and precarious basket locations. Most holes are tightly wooded and the course intersects with our Fraser Fir Christmas tree farm for an added open component. Extremely challenging !

Fantastic course, it is obvious that a ton of work has gone into putting it together. Unlike anything else I’ve played, especially in the southeast. Beautiful property, holes, and scenery throughout.

Note: Make sure to call or text the owners ahead of time! It’s on private land. The course was beautiful and had a lot of variety. The holes go across rocky, wooded, hills, and through parts of the Christmas farm. The owners were very friendly, let us play last minute, and even offered to look for a lost disc. Overall, incredible experience and a lot of fun.
