Wade Hampton Golf Club, Cashiers, North Carolina

Wade Hampton Golf Club, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Cashiers, is often ranked among the finest mountain courses in the world. Opened in 1987, it was designed by Tom Fazio, who used the natural valleys, streams, and dramatic elevation changes to create a course of stunning beauty and strategic depth. The par-72 layout stretches across pristine terrain, with wide fairways, bold bunkering, and green sites that flow naturally with the land. In recent years, the Fazio Design team has returned to guide renovations, including bunker restoration and green refinements, ensuring the course remains true to Fazio’s vision while offering modern playability and impeccable conditioning.
