Highlands Country Club sits at 4,118 feet above sea level in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. The course threads through mature hardwood and evergreen forest, with elevation changes that produce natural doglegs and elevated tee boxes. Several holes play across or along streams that drain into Lake Sequoyah, requiring carries over water on at least three holes. The bentgrass greens are small, sloped, and often tucked behind mounds or set into bowls. The routing alternates between tight, tree-lined corridors on the front nine and more open approaches on the back, where the terrain opens toward the lake. Bunkering is modest in volume but placed to penalize short-sided shots; many greens are fronted by false fronts or collection areas that funnel errant balls into swales. The combination of altitude, cool climate, and native soil produces firm, fast playing conditions that place a premium on accurate approach shots and controlled distance.
Highlands Country Club currently has (within 1 mile) 2 single family homes for sale with an average list price of $1,249,500 and 1 condo for sale with a list price of $560,000.
