Perched at 4,000 ft atop the Highlands–Cashiers Plateau, Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club, a Discovery Land Company enclave, delivers an unrivaled mountain-luxury experience. The centerpiece is a dramatic Tom Fazio–designed 18-hole course carved directly from solid granite—boasting 7,127 yards of championship play, gorges, waterfalls, and one-of-a-kind rock features—consistently ranked among the top 5 private courses in North Carolina and within Golf Digest’s “Second 100 Greatest” U.S. course.
Members enjoy access to a 56,000 sq ft lodge-style clubhouse with spa, fitness center, elegant and casual dining venues, and concierge services. Outdoor amenities are plentiful, from tennis and croquet courts to indoor basketball, pickleball, shooting club, and a rustic general store offering artisan local goods and even free-range eggs. Beyond golf, Mountaintop includes a private pavilion on Lake Glenville with boat rentals, lakeside entertainment, kids’ camps, guided hikes, and tent camping—making it a full-sensory, all-season destination.
The community spans 731 acres with 240 estate lots and 75 luxury cabins, offering real estate ranging from $1 million to $5 million, and homesites priced $725K to $1.7 million. Residence sizes vary from 2,500 sq ft mountain-style homes to grand lodges up to 6,000 sq ft—many with sweeping mountain and lake vistas.
