Heartfelt Holidays and Premium Play at Barnsley Resort Where festive decor, award-winning golf and Southern hospitality combine for the ultimate retreat
Located halfway between Atlanta and Chattanooga and set against the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains lies Barnsley Resort, a 3,000-acre getaway where nature, history and hospitality come together as one. While this North Georgia resort offers authentic, memorable experiences year-round, a trip here for the holidays is unmatched in every way. For many, the 18-hole Jim Fazio golf course is the premiere prize of the resort. Often described as a ‘beautiful challenge,’ the course spans 378 acres and blends into the natural surroundings of North Georgia, winding around the resort’s lake, forests, and gardens. The course boasts some of the fastest greens in the Southeast, elevation changes off the tee and one of the best collections of par-three’s anywhere. The Golf Performance Center includes a 750 sq. ft. enclosed studio where students can tee-off from bays onto the driving range, as well as two TrackMan radar systems. Private golf instruction for all levels – from novice to professional - PGA clinics and classes are also available. While the resort is home to a stunning golf course, there’s more to explore beyond the greens, including hiking trails, canoeing, catchand-release fishing, biking, sporting clays or wing shooting at the Beretta Shooting Grounds, archery and guided horseback rides, as well as the historic Manor House Ruins and gardens. The resort offers elevated Southern cuisine at multiple on-site restaurants, as well as 150 guest rooms spread out between the 55-room Inn and 39 individual cottages, which range from one to seven bedrooms. “Barnsley Resort’s golf course has been a fan favorite among locals and travelers for years. Our golf professionals are incredibly knowledgeable and
provide unparalleled guidance to help players perfect their game. In addition to golf there are dozens of activities to enjoy, and the best way to cap off any day is by toasting s’mores at the outdoor firepits. The holidays are also a magical time, and while things may look a bit different this year, that doesn’t mean guests can’t enjoy the opportunity to get away together in a safe and memorable resort environment.” -David Friederich, President, Barnsley Resort Throughout December, the Manor House Ruins, gardens and village green will illuminate the night with more than one million twinkling holiday lights, complemented by multiple wellappointed Christmas trees. To further get into the holiday spirit, guests can partake in an array of holiday workshops, such as gingerbread house making, ornament decorating, wreath making, and more. The resort’s online Calendar of Events lists all upcoming events, including details on specially prepared Christmas dining experiences. Be sure to take advantage of the Warm & Cozy winter package, which includes a signature Barnsley Resort logo blanket and $100 activity credit.
