The Country Club of Sapphire Valley is a private, member-owned club in the heart of Sapphire, just off US 64. It was founded in 1956 and owned by its members since 1983. It is one of the oldest golf clubs on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. Behind its private security gate are several neighborhoods, each with its own character, all a short walk or drive from the clubhouse, the Sapphire Valley ski slope, and Fairfield Lake.
The setting is more level than most mountain clubs. The course and many homesites sit on gentle ground, with views of Chimney Top, Bald Rock, and Rock Mountain. Club membership is by invitation.
The club's 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by George W. Cobb, plays 6,859 yards from the back tees, and was renovated in 2007. It is a traditional, walkable mountain course surrounded by long views of the Blue Ridge, with a driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a practice bunker.
The Sapphire Valley ski slope, Fairfield Lake, and the recreation center are all close by, and dinner at The Library Kitchen & Bar is just up Cherokee Trail. Rainbow Falls and the trails of Gorges State Park are a short drive down NC 281. Cashiers is minutes west, and Lake Toxaway is a short drive east.
