Toqua Golf Club The "Grand Dame" of the Village. Toqua is beautiful, classic, and looks incredibly friendly right up until you’re staring at a three-putt on the 14th. It’s the perfect place to realize your drive is great, but your short game is... a work in progress. It’s the total package, but watch out for that finish along the lake—the water doesn't offer refunds on lost balls.

The Links at Kahite Welcome to Kahite: where the fairways are wide, the wind is real, and there are more bunkers than there are members in the MGA. As a true links-style course, there’s plenty of room to let it rip—provided you can navigate the 90+ sand traps that were apparently designed by someone who holds a personal grudge against golfers. It offers the best views in the Village and the best sand-save practice in the state.

Tanasi Slideshow
Tanasi Golf Club If you enjoy a casual stroll through the scenic woods—occasionally interrupted by the sound of a golf ball hitting a tree—Tanasi is for you. It’s a "shot-maker’s course," which is just a polite way of saying "keep it straight or bring an extra sleeve of balls." The greens have more curves than a mountain road, so make sure your flatstick is warmed up before you hit the first tee.
