Few mountain golf experiences in the Southeast carry the cachet of Old Edwards Club. Part of the broader Old Edwards Hospitality group — a luxury inn and spa operation that has made Cashiers one of the most sought-after retreats in the Southern Appalachians — the course reflects the refined, unhurried character of the property itself. It plays through the kind of terrain that defines the Cashiers plateau: elevation changes, hardwood forests, and the cool air that keeps this corner of western North Carolina a genuine summer escape, sitting well above 3,500 feet.
Cashiers occupies a crossroads in Jackson County where North Carolina begins to feel genuinely wild, and the golf here earns its setting. The routing takes full advantage of the mountain topography, meaning the course rewards patience and course management over raw distance — which is fitting for a par 71 that doesn't need length to test a player.
The overall experience skews toward the private club and resort guest, with the amenities and presentation you'd expect from a property that competes in the upper tier of Southern mountain hospitality.
