Bill Watts, course architect, capitalized his design using the natural features in the valley which were present long before a golf course was envisioned. With the elevation of this course the highest in Georgia, it is significantly cooler than courses elsewhere in the state.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, a major renovation and redesign was completed when noted course designer, Bill Bergin, transformed Sky Valley into a championship course. The first thing visitors notice is the lush texture of the fairways and greens of the current course. Bergin was able to utilize previously unused parcels of land to lengthen the course by 500 yards. The current length is over 6,900 yards which allows for each hole to have 7 sets of tees providing distances enjoyable by every level of player.<\/p>\n<p>The semi-private Sky Valley Country Club course has a golf learning center which includes a practice range and a large putting green. Instruction is available from our PGA Professional and Golf Manager, Steve Heher. Contact Steve to schedule individual play, group play, and tournaments.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3579 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dillardgeorgia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SkyValley.jpg\" alt=\"Sky Valley\" width=\"1024\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dillardgeorgia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SkyValley.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dillardgeorgia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SkyValley-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dillardgeorgia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SkyValley-768x334.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Course Information<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Par \u2013 36-36-72<\/li>\n<li>Elevation \u2013 3500 feet<\/li>\n<li>Course Architect \u2013 Bill Watts<\/li>\n<li>Redesign by Bill Bergin in 2007<\/li>\n<li>Play \u2013 Semi-Private, open for members, guests and the general public<\/li>\n<li>Facility Hours \u2013 Year round weather permitting, 7 days a week<\/li>\n<li>Grass \u2013 Bent grass from tee to green<\/li>\n<li>Course Record \u2013 61 by James Mason, Sky Valley resident, Member of Senior PGA Tour<\/li>\n<li>Practice Facility \u2013 Complete practice facility with driving range, target greens, grass, all weather tees, putting and chipping greens.
