Sapphire National Golf Club

Sapphire National Golf Club is located in the Sapphire Valley and Cashiers Plateau Resort area of North Carolina, serving as the only public golf course in the Highlands, Cashiers, and Sapphire region. The course features dramatic elevation changes and tranquil mountain views throughout its layout. It has received a prestigious 4½-star rating from Golf Digest and recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation.

Notable characteristics include signature holes such as the dramatic par 4, 13th hole positioned beside a majestic waterfall, and the postcard-quality par 3, 15th hole featuring an island green. The course is designed to challenge players with strategic shot-making requirements rather than favoring aggressive play styles. The layout provides scenic vistas and extended spacing between holes, allowing adequate time for reflection on shots.

The facility has partnered with Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company, a full-service restaurant and bar featuring regional craft beers and overlooking the 8th and 18th holes, enhancing the overall golfing experience with dining and social amenities on the property.
