Is The Keep America’s Best New Golf Course (Opening in 2025)?

Lookout Mountain, GA

Sitting 2000 feet on top of Lookout Mountain, The Keep is the highly anticipated new golf course at The McLemore Resort that everyone is talking about.  Pay attention because this may be the best new buddies golf trip and it probably will fill up fast.

Carved into the side of a mountain, The Keep offers an unforgettable experience for any skill level golfer.  With breathtaking views, dramatic elevation changes, and a meticulous design, there is a reason that everyone is hyping this place. 

The McLemore Resort has already established itself as a premier destination for those who love both luxury and the game with their Highlands Course and their short course, the Cairn.  But the latest edition of The Keep will only elevate their reputation and bring in so many golfers from around the world.

The course has been carefully crafted by a team of world-renowned golf architects, Bill Bergin, who seamlessly blended a wild strategy with the natural landscape in the mountain. What we love most about The Keep, is that although it gets windy and the sites could be nerve-racking for the faint of heart,  the course itself is still playable and a fun walk. 

Beyond the challenge, The Keep is basically a visual masterpiece. You’re starring down panoramic views of the Tennessee Valley, which stretches as far as the eye can see.   The course itself is located a few minutes down the road from their main resort, Cloudland at McLemore, but with shuttle services or a rent-a-car, it’s easy to get too.  

As The Keep prepares for its grand opening, excitement continues to build within the golf community including a brand new clubhouse and driving range in the process of being built and finished for opening day.
