CLOUDLAND AT MCLEMORE RESORT RISING FAWN, GEORGIA Just outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, an oasis has been built in the sky. McLemore looms large on a plateau among the Smoky Mountains and features two golf courses in the air. The resort’s newest course, The Keep, weaves atop the mountain forest with gentle, flat land and 1.5 miles of clifftop edge, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountain range. Another feature of the property is the five streams that converge into a single source, creating waterfalls along the way. Its older brother, the Highlands Course, offers similar mountain terrain, pushing up to cliffs’ edges on several holes, creating heart-pumping excitement for golfers tackling the course and featuring one of the most distinctive finishing holes in the Southeast. And while golf is a key driver to the resort, the opening of the hotel makes a definite statement that their clientele extends beyond avid golfers. Its spa, named Selah, provides guests with an indoor retreat, as well. It offers a full menu of spa experiences, including massages, facials and body treatments. One example is the hydrotherapy lounge that offers thermotherapy, a three-step relaxation ritual that alternates between hot and cold temperatures followed by a period of rest. The treatment is designed to stimulate circulation, relieve pain, decrease stress and rejuvenate the body. Sitting at 2,300 feet above sea level, McLemore is ready to establish itself as one of the more preeminent and unique luxury destinations in the South. Themclemore.com Issue 3 • 2024 67
