Golf in Dahlonega

Dahlonega is the county seat of Lumpkin County and a historic mountain town in the North Georgia foothills, known as the site of the first major gold rush in US history, which began in 1828 before the more famous California rush. The town's gold mining heritage is preserved in the Dahlonega Gold Museum State Historic Site on the downtown square, and the community has evolved into a destination for tourism, wine trail visitors, and outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The University of North Georgia's main campus is in Dahlonega, adding a college-town dimension to the mountain character of the community.
