Country Club of Sapphire Valley

The Country Club of Sapphire Valley is a favorite place to host special events, whether you’re planning a milestone birthday or getting ready for a lavish wedding.

Welcome to Country Club of Sapphire Valley

Enjoy a warm and welcoming experience at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley. Built in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains in 1956, the club offers a family-centered experience with plenty of activities to cover every interest.

George W. Cobb designed the walkable golf course featured at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley. Created to be challenging for people of all skill levels, the course uses natural features as obstacles, such as steams, ponds, and trees. Before you hit the course, practice your swing on the driving range or take lessons from one of the seasoned golf pros who can help you evolve your weak spot. 

For those who aren’t interested in a round of golf, take to one of the four tennis courts to see how you would handle Wimbledon, or try your hand at pickleball, a hybrid between tennis, ping-pong, and badminton. The two Croquet lawns let people try a sport popular among British nobility, and lessons are available to newcomers of any of these activities. The Country Club of Sapphire Valley is the only ski resort on The Plateau, featuring a small one-run ski resort that winter sports enthusiasts will love.

Health-conscious members will want to squeeze in a workout at the top-of-the-line fitness center, offering not just machines, but also yoga, high-impact interval training, spin classes, and more. Relax sore muscles in the sauna, cool off with a dip in the pool, and get a massage to relax. If you prefer your workouts out in the open, join a guided hike through the mountains, where you can also enjoy sights of local wildlife and the peaceful sound of a bubbling stream. 

Five dining areas serve club members, offering a variety of cuisine to be enjoyed in the various eating areas. Whether you opt for white linen service inside or fresh air during your meal on the balcony, the food itself is phenomenal, an exquisite play on flavors. The restaurants also host special events, from themed meals to tastings, that are sure to spark up conversation between you and a new friend. Within the club, you’ll find Sapphire Mountain Brewing Company, one of the only local breweries within Highlands and Cashiers Plateau. Here, you can enjoy stunning mountain views while sipping craft beers on the cozy deck.

The Country Club of Sapphire Valley is a favorite place to host special events, whether you’re planning a milestone birthday or getting ready for a lavish wedding. Inside, the setting is mountain chalet with a touch of an apres-ski vibe, or take to the lawn with airy tents on brilliantly green grass. The extensive menu options make it possible to curate the party of your dreams, whether that involves passed hors d' oeuvres or a white-glove sit-down dinner. The special events manager will work with you to fine-tune the details and then will handle the work so you can sit back and enjoy time with loved ones.

Current members claim that the Country Club of Sapphire Valley is one of the friendliest private clubs in the area, a reputation that’s remained intact for decades. Whether hosting an event to benefit a local charity or simply opening up for the summer residents of Sapphire, there’s always something going on to draw the interest of the members.
