Birch River Golf Club (recently renamed: Achasta Golf Club)

The course is very natural looking and blends with the surroundings, located in the foothills of the North Georgia Mountains along the Chestatee River. Achasta is honored to have been selected as home of the PGA TOUR’s 2007-2008 AT&T Classic Qualifier, 2002-2006 Bell South Classic Open Qualifier, 2002 Georgia State Amateur Qualifier, 2003 US Open Qualifier, and the 2004 Georgia State Mid-Am Qualifier.

The semi-private 6955-yard, par-72 course crosses the quaint but famous Chestatee River seven times— including the unique fifth hole, which plays entirely on an island in the river. Achasta Golf Club was designed to optimize the natural environment with unique hole strategies. The course provides surprising challenges yet is enjoyable for players of all skill levels.
