Blairsville Golf
Butternut Creek Golf Course, Public, 706-439-6097
Butternut Creek Golf Course features a combination of rolling valley holes and challenging mountain slopes with mountain views from all 18 holes on the course. Each hole is unique – not a single hole is remotely similar to another.
Owned and operated by the Union County Recreation Department, Butternut Creek Golf Course sits in downtown Blairsville below beautiful Ivy Log Mountain. Butternut Creek plays to a modest 6,500+ yards, but 4 to 6 tee boxes on every hole give challenging options for every player. Water comes into play on 13 holes. Mounds, undulating greens, and elevation changes are found throughout the course. Butternut Creek Golf Course boasts Penncross Bent Grass greens and Tifton 419 Bermuda fairways and tees. The roughs and mounds have common Bermuda and love grass.
