Overview
Located in the Cashiers region of North Carolina is the George Cobb-designed golf course at High Hampton Resort. The course originally opened in 1956 and has since undergone a three-year Tom Fazio-led renovation culminating in 2021. The end result is a spectacular golf course with six entirely new holes, as well as winding fairways that rise and fall over steep undulations and play to immaculate bentgrass putting surfaces. Open driving areas are protected by strategic bunkering and tall fescue, while putting surfaces have plenty of slope and difficult breaks. The round culminates with the par-4 15th and 18th, offering stunning panoramic views of the exposed rock faces of Chimney Top and Rock Mountain.

Review
“Front nine is is ‘crammed’, with holes 3-6 lacking character and feeling like a ‘short’ golf course. Holes 8-18 are really good. Holes 15-18 are absolutely spectacular"

“Dramatically upgraded club and resort in the NC mountains. Fazio did an excellent job with the renovation and the new holes close to the mountain provide a dramatic finish to the round. Great service and experience as well."

“A very well maintained, interesting and challenging golf course. Definitely one of the better golf courses in Cashiers, NC, an area blessed with many superb golf courses, including Wade Hampton. I would like to see them add walking paths from green to the next tee, and from the tee to the fairway. It is a walkable course, but not walker friendly. Hole 18 is a great finishing hole, a challenge the entire way."

“Nice resort course redo by Fazio. Not overly difficult with some elevation changes on the back 9 but not overly dramatic. #15 is a great hole looking at the green and the mountain in the back drop. Excellent conditioning."

Review
“The updated Fazio design at High Hampton Resort adds some great improvements to the layout variety and distinctiveness of the course. In particular, the four new holes 15-18 are all very strong and provide a good finish to the round. Green complexes are challenging, but fair. With drivable par fours and five par 3s, this course provides the golfer with some fun opportunities to score well. With only two dogleg right holes and none on the back nine, the layout is geared to players who prefer/can hit the ball straight and/or left. This course is a nice addition to the mountain golf venues in the western North Carolina."
