Highlands Golf.....by Reid Callaway
Highlands Country Club
North Carolina Golf Art
This is an image of the Highlands Country Club taken from just above the 17th and 18th holes on a beautiful, cloud filled, spring day. In the summer 1928 one of the greatest golfers who ever lived, teed up of all settled himself and launched it into the air. The golfer was Robert Tyre Jones Jr and the ball was the first one struck in what is now known as Highlands Country Club.
Highlands was founded in 1875 after its two founders, Samuel Truman Kelsey and Clinton Carter Hutchinson, drew lines from Chicago to Savannah and from New Orleans to New York. They felt that the place where these lines met would eventually become a great trading center and commercial crossroads.
In the 1930s the town became a golfing mecca when Bobby Jones of Atlanta and some of his well-heeled golfing buddies founded the Highlands Country Club. Today that club is one of seven successful residential country club communities in the area. The Highlands Country Club is south of Highlands on Dillard Road (North Carolina Highway 106).
The official average elevation within town limits is 4,118 feet (1,255 m), making it one of the highest incorporated municipalities east of the Mississippi. The annual rainfall approaches 90 inches (2,300 mm) due to the orographic lifting effect of storms coming from the lower elevations. This rainfall and the abundant sunshine, create a lush and verdant microclimate which delights botanists.
