Golf in Ellijay

Ellijay is the county seat of Gilmer County in the North Georgia mountains, known as the Apple Capital of Georgia for the extensive apple orchards in the surrounding hills and valleys. The town has developed a significant tourism economy drawing Atlanta-area visitors for apple picking in fall, the Apple Festival in October, vineyards along the wine trail, and outdoor recreation including the Cartecay River. Ellijay sits at the confluence of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers near the Cohutta Wilderness in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
