    McLemore is my favorite golf experience in the world. It is far from anything so the drive is longer than I'd like, but I guess the infrequency that I get to enjoy it is what makes it so much more special. I joined the Friends of McLemore program when it those folks were only allowed to play once per year. Now it is opened up to play 4x per year, more specifically once per season. When pulling into the gate, you're welcomed by the view of new homes en route to the clubhouse. The pro shop is fitted with the nicest apparel and knickknacks. The men's locker room and bathroom are impeccable. When I visited last year during covid, the restaurant was not open. The driving range when I visited was not quite finished and I found myself hitting balls into a field. Playing by myself on a day with very few people, I made my way to the first tee and flushed one right down the middle. Off to a good start. When I made my way to the first green, I was absolutely blown away by the view. Knowing that the 18th green was the crown jewel, I was surprised how great the views already were. The rest of the course played beautifully. There are many hard/blind shots as a first time player without a member to ask advice from. Next time I go, I'll have the Arccos system all loaded up. There was a halfway house with food and drinks. The 18th was indeed a beauty. I stopped to take a lot of photos. Gorgeous. When I was finished I made my way back to the club house and I saw two C130s swoop down into the valley which was an incredible cap to the day. I bought a hat and headed back towards Atlanta. I'm headed back to play with my dad next week and can't wait to share the experience with him!

    By anyone's standards, this should be a bucket list course. The location is certainly remote and almost a 2 hour jaunt from my Atlanta suburbs home. It was well worth the expedition however. They don't make it particularly easy to book a tee time at McLemore, but these can be had by joining their Friends of McLemore Facebook group, The clubhouse is certainly of high quality. It is of modest size, but the finishes inside are of the highest quality. You certainly feel like you are in a very luxurious location from the moment you enter their facility. The pro shop and restaurant staff were extremely friendly and the sandwich lunch we had was generously proportioned and of high quality. The real star of the McLemore Show however, is the golf course itself. The layout is excellent and takes full advantage of the incredible vistas on offer from what is essentially the side of a mountain. The 18th hole has received rave reviews by the golf press, but there are plenty of other holes demonstrating absolutely stunning beauty. There are perhaps three or four holes on the back nine which are what could best be described as ordinary. Which is to say they are not up to the same standard of beauty as the rest of the course - nothing wrong with them in particular if they were on a different course, just not up to the stunning standards as the others on this particular course. Make no mistake, this is a special place to play golf. It is far from cheap however. We paid the tidy sum of $150/person which supposedly was the discounted midweek rate. Their tee sheet was full however, which lends support to the argument that, although very high for the region in general, the cost represents fair market value for the experience. I support this view entirely and would in fact go so far as to say that if somehow you could miraculously take this same course, place it in a more densely populated area and host a PGA tour event there (it would be well up to their standard requirements for an event), a rate closer to $450 would meet with equal customer numbers. If you lucky enough to have this sort of cash available to spend on a special golf experience, go for it. You won't be disappointed!
