Mountain and Golf Community Currahee Club Named One of Top 100 Residential Golf Courses in the Nation
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- Mountain and golf community Currahee Club's (http://www.curraheeclub.com) spectacular Jim Fazio-designed, 18-hole golf course has been named to Golfweek's 2007 ranking of the Top 100 Residential Golf Courses in the U.S. Located in northeast Georgia amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Hartwell, the 7,513-yard course ranked as one of the top golf courses in Georgia and was number 48 overall for the interest, variety and playability of its greens, as well as its dramatic elevation changes.
Each year, Golfweek's panel of 400 golf experts critique 1,900 nominated courses across the nation, including many golf courses in Georgia. Each course is then judged on 10 criteria, including: variety and memorability of each hole; integration of the course with the clubhouse and real estate; trees and landscape management; overall quality of the course's maintenance, and more.
"Golfweek has again graciously praised Currahee Club's golf course, and we're proud to have this distinction from such an esteemed publication," said Chris Whitley - partner with Currahee Club. "To be chosen from among the 17,000 courses in the nation and the hundreds of golf courses in Georgia further establishes Currahee Club as a premier golf community."
The mountain and golf community also was one of the golf courses in Georgia recognized by Golfweek in the magazine's list of the Top 50 Best New Courses in the nation for 2006.
