Rees Jones and Bill Bergin reimagined the original Canyon Ridge course at McLemore in 2019, reopening it as The Highlands โ a 7,055-yard par-71 cliff-edge layout on Lookout Mountain. The par-4 18th plays directly toward the McLemore Cove overlook and is Golf Digest's 22nd-best hole in America, named a Top 10 Finishing Hole in the World by LINKS Magazine, and the "Best Hole Built since 2000." Since reopening in 2019, the Highlands has been ranked a Top 100 Course You Can Play by multiple publications. Golf Digest named it one of the 50 premier golf resorts in the U.S. and nominated it for Best New Course in America in 2020. Golfweek has it on the Top 200 Resort Courses in the U.S. Paired with The Keep (2024), McLemore now has two acclaimed cliff-edge layouts in the same resort.
