PROFILE SNAPSHOT
Big Canoe / Jasper, Georgia | Parent: Big Canoe Golf Club | 9-hole named course | COMMUNITY / OWNER-GUEST-RENTAL ACCESS | ACTIVE — VERIFIED
OFFICIAL / HIGH-CONFIDENCE FACTS
- Official POA identifies Choctaw as a separate 9-hole course.
- Opened in 1974 as Big Canoe's second nine.
- First four holes run along Blackwell Creek.
- Routing turns uphill after the creek stretch.
- Dramatic downhill par-3 No. 9.

- Shares parent-facility practice, range, pro-shop and food infrastructure.

CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL
The 2024 Bergin renovation is a significant freshness signal. Avoid using old pre-renovation condition/architecture reviews as if they describe the current nine exactly.
THE NTB TAKE
Choctaw might be the sneaky one.
Creek gets the lake photos. Cherokee gets the giant elevation drop. Choctaw gets Blackwell Creek, an uphill turn and a 2024 renovation.
Our call: this nine needs its own page specifically because it changed recently.
