Denis Griffiths Purchases Blairsville Golf Course, Old Union

Golf course designer, Denis Griffiths has purchased Blairsville’s premier golf course, Old Union at Owen Glen. Scheduled to open for play in summer 2009, this mountain golf course offers a secluded, serene golf experience.

“Purchasing Old Union is a fantastic opportunity to not only design a new golf course, but it also allows the luxury of working in the beautiful North Georgia area,” said Griffiths. “This course will offer something for every golfer and I think it will be a great addition to the active, outdoor lifestyle that Union County encourages.”

Old Union is an 18-hole par 72 course designed for all golfers from beginners to pros. The 7,500 yard course will test the best of players with the consummate challenge serious golfers are expecting, while providing the practice that beginners need. Old Union includes a comprehensive practice range for golfers of all skills, especially to beginning and young golfers. The core golf course of the Owen Glen community is especially unique in today’s development market offering breathtaking views throughout the entire 235-acres with a minimum of golf front homes to make it more of a pure golf experience.

Along with the beautiful course, Griffiths has also purchased the amenities at the Georgia mountain community, Owen Glen. A first-class clubhouse will feature a pro shop, grille, fitness center and meeting room. A community pool and tennis will also be available. While all residents do not have to purchase a golf membership, they will all be social members which allow them access to the pool, fitness center, meeting room and tennis.
