The Orchard Golf & Country Club

The Orchard Golf & Country Club is a private country club set at the base of the Appalachian Mountains in Clarkesville, Georgia, on grounds that were once a working cattle farm and apple orchard. The property borders the Chattahoochee National Forest, with apple orchards, flowering trees, and mountain streams running through the landscape. The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Dan Maples and opened in 1991, stretching to 7,018 yards from the longest tees. Beyond golf, the club offers swim, tennis, and pickleball facilities, on-site lodging in private villas, and dining at the Branchwater Grill. For private events, the club hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, golf outings, and celebrations of all kinds. The indoor facility accommodates up to 60 guests, with seasonal deck space available for larger or outdoor gatherings. Non-member events are welcome, and the club's events team works with clients to customize each experience.
