Lake Toxaway Country Club Golf Course
The new Lake Toxaway Country Club Golf Course opened on August 20, 2008.
The $9 million course was designed by architect Kris W. Spence. The course has a par of 71 &
measures approximately 6,418 yards. The design takes advantage of the topography &
breathtaking views of the mountains & Lake Toxaway. It is fun & challenging for golfers of all
skill levels.
Kris Spence took ample time walking the previous course from the 1960's,
taking into account the natural setting & potiential angles of play.
"Everywhere you look there's dramatic scenery, from mountains with rock outcroppings to stunning
lake waters. There's even a waterfall halfway up the mountain behind the fifth green," said Kris Spence.
The ninth hole has a view of Lake Toxaway. "The back nine features more rises and falls,
playing up to a plateau and back down again. The back side is also more secluded, favoring
accuracy over distance. After the 17th green, there's a 100-foot climb to the tee at No. 18.
From there golfers are exposed to a panoramic view of the mountains and lake, before hitting
downhill to a challenging par-5 closing hole." (quoted from Lake Toxaway Country Club's website.)
