From the mist of the Georgia mountains rises an enchanting new golf course community, Owen Glen. The community name, Owen Glen, is drawn from the Owenby family, who settled in the Blairsville valley where the course is located. In keeping with the Scottish roots of the game of golf, “Glen” is derived from the Scottish word for “valley.” Owen Glen golf course designer and owner, Denis Griffiths is the only American to have designed a golf course in St. Andrews and he has designed premier golf courses all over the world. Griffiths is excited to develop Old Union at Owen Glen because the course's terrain is similar to that of Scotland’s and will display an obvious Scottish flair.
The highlight of the community will be a semi-private, 7,500 yard championship length golf course designed and owned by world-renowned golf course designer, Denis Griffiths. Griffiths is known for his careful integration of course design with the surroundings and the Old Union course weaves beautifully through the natural meadows, creeks and woods with a breathtaking view of the mountains as its backdrop. The 18-hole par 72 course includes a comprehensive practice range that will be one of the finest in north Georgia. The golf course will be semi-private with annual golf memberships available and is expected to open in summer 2009.
The gated community will offer affordable home sites perfect for move-up buyers, second home buyers and retirees looking for a dignified golf course community home. The generous one- to three-acre home sites were developed to enhance the natural beauty of the land, so homeowners will enjoy the peaceful, rolling hills and a slate of amenities for an active lifestyle.
Owen Glen's amenity package will include a clubhouse, pool and tennis. The first-class clubhouse will include a fitness center, grille, meeting room and pro shop. Garland Reynolds of Reynolds Architects is designing the clubhouse, on which construction is scheduled to begin in early 2009. Residents will enjoy trout fishing in the natural creek running through the property. Owen Glen homeowners will also enjoy access to the fitness center, pool, tennis and meeting room through their social membership.
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, residents at Owen Glen will enjoy a serene, laidback lifestyle that can only be found in a mountain community. Union County’s relaxed mountain environment makes it the perfect place for those who embrace the great outdoors to call home. Lake Nottely, a 4,400 acre lake with more than 100 miles of shoreline, is a mile away and is the ideal setting for trout fishing, boating, swimming and picnicking. For those looking to stay on dry land, the mountains provide unlimited adventures for hikers and mountain bikers of all ages. The Appalachian Trail is accessible at several points within Union County offering endless opportunities for day hikers as well as those hiking the trail from Georgia to Maine.
Owen Glen’s sales center is open Monday through Saturday 10:00 am. to 5:00 pm. and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 pm. To visit Owen Glen’s sales center take Route 515 north to Blairsville.
