About Butternut Creek Golf Course
Butternut Creek is Union County's public course, run by the county recreation department right in downtown Blairsville. Bill Watts designed it, and it plays to a modest 6,500-plus yards, with four to six tee boxes on every hole, so you can pick a length that suits you.
What it lacks in length it makes up for in trouble. Water comes into play on 13 holes, the greens undulate, and there's elevation change throughout. Every hole has a mountain view, and from the first tee you look out at the Ivy Log range. The greens are Penncross bentgrass; the fairways and tees are Tifton 419 Bermuda.
The clubhouse is the Union County Community Center, up on the hill at the top of the course, steps from the first tee. The pro shop is inside, and upstairs The View Grill looks out over the course and the mountains beyond.
It's one of 17 courses Yoink watches in the North Georgia Mountains area, and the closest alternative is Old Union Golf Course, about 2 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
