A Golfer’s Paradise
The centerpiece of Brasstown Valley Resort is its stunning 18-hole championship golf course, masterfully designed by renowned architect Denis Griffiths. The course harmoniously blends challenge with beauty, following the natural contours of the mountainous terrain. As you move through the lush fairways, you’ll find yourself surrounded by towering pines, hardwoods, shimmering lakes, and panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Stretching over 6,900 yards, the par-72 course caters to golfers of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned player looking for a challenge or a weekend golfer seeking a scenic game, each hole offers something unique.

The layout balances thoughtful challenges with moments of pure enjoyment, encouraging golfers to embrace both the game and the beauty surrounding them. For those looking to improve their game, the resort offers exceptional practice facilities. A driving range, putting greens, and a chipping area allow golfers to finetune their skills or warm up before a round. Additionally, the full-service pro shop is well-stocked with the latest equipment, accessories, and apparel, ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect day on the greens.
Comfortable and Versatile Accommodations
Brasstown Valley Resort seamlessly combines rustic charm with modern comforts, offering a variety of accommodations to suit any traveler’s needs. Guests can choose from well-appointed lodge rooms and suites, cozy private cottages, or the exclusive Equani Spa Suite—each designed to provide comfort, style, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valley.
The main Lodge is the heart of the resort, featuring 102 inviting guest rooms and five spacious one-bedroom suites. Many rooms include thoughtful details like private balconies, gas fireplaces, and sweeping views of the mountain landscape or tranquil valley. The Lodge’s grand lobby, with its impressive stone fireplace and vaulted oak ceilings, immediately welcomes guests into a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For those seeking a bit more privacy and space, eight charming cottages are tucked into the woods just beyond the Lodge. Designed to reflect a classic mountain aesthetic, the cottages provide a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Each cottage features four individual guest rooms with private entrances, making them perfect for couples, families, or groups traveling together. The covered wooden decks and wood-burning fireplaces create the ideal setting to unwind after a day of exploring or playing golf. Guests also have the option to rent a cottage parlor, which adds a shared living space complete with a kitchen, dining table, large wood-burning fireplace, and gas grill— perfect for family gatherings or reconnecting with friends.
The Equani Spa Suite offers an unparalleled experience for guests looking to indulge in luxury. This private suite features vaulted pine ceilings, a cozy stacked-stone gas fireplace, and a rooftop deck with a private hot tub. The spa-inspired bathroom takes relaxation to the next level, offering an “Experience Shower” equipped with dual drench heads, aromatherapy, and Swiss shower bars, creating a full sensory experience.
Dining with a View
Dining at Brasstown Valley Resort is a highlight of any stay, with exceptional Southern-inspired cuisine served in inviting settings. The resort’s signature restaurant, The Dining Room, emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavors. Guests can enjoy expertly prepared dishes such as pan-seared trout, perfectly grilled steaks, and decadent desserts, all while taking in sweeping views of the mountains through the restaurant’s large windows.
For a more relaxed atmosphere, Brassies Grill offers a casual dining experience where guests can unwind after a day on the course or trails. The menu features hearty comfort foods, satisfying snacks, and refreshing drinks, making it the perfect spot to relax and refuel. Stick around after your meal, or drop in any time, for a game of pool, or to listen to your favorite tunes on the jukebox.
Relaxation and Wellness at the Spa
A visit to the Equani Spa is the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. Inspired by the Cherokee heritage of the region, the spa focuses on holistic treatments that restore harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. Skilled therapists offer a range of services, from therapeutic massages and rejuvenating facials to signature body wraps and hydrotherapy treatments. The tranquil spa setting, combined with soothing natural elements, creates an experience of pure relaxation and renewal. Guests staying in the Equani Spa Suite enjoy the added benefit of direct access to the spa amenities, providing a seamless transition from ultimate relaxation to restful comfort.
