This point was Highlands, North Carolina. Highlands is located at the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains at an average elevation of 4118 feet. Because of the climate, clean air and natural beauty of the area, Highlands was promoted as a health retreat and summer resort. The development of Highlands Country Club in the late 1920's further enhanced the town's reputation. This now famous Donald Ross golf course has been played by many golfing greats, including Bobby Jones, who maintained a summer home at the Club.
Today there are three additional country clubs to choose from in Highlands.
Summer residents and visitors continue to flock to Highlands to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and waterfalls, the cool weather, and the relaxed environment of this wonderful mountain community . . .
