WELCOME TO THE HIDEAWAY
Lake Oconee’s only member-owned golf retreat featuring personalized service and premium amenities.
OUR STORY
The Hideaway began as the vision of an ambitious group, and over the past several months, that vision has become a reality. With a commitment to premier lake access, we have secured 725 acres of prime land, partnered with renowned contractors, and collaborated with Greene County officials and local utilities. Now, The Hideaway is poised to become one of North America’s most prestigious private clubs, where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to exude sophistication, innovation, and timeless charm.
As the clubhouse and golf course take shape, a select few have a rare opportunity to become Equity Members of The Hideaway.
Member Equity
As a member-owned club, The Hideaway gives each member a meaningful voice in the direction of the club. From financial planning and programming to community standards, this model encourages a deep sense of pride, ownership, and connection that is rarely found in traditional private clubs.
Exclusivity
Membership is limited to just 400 individuals, with access extended by invitation only. This ensures a private and personalized experience, with easy access to tee times, curated events, premium amenities, and attentive concierge support.
Service
Our commitment to exceptional service begins with our team. Every staff member is trained to anticipate needs and personalize each interaction with care. Their dedication ensures consistency and excellence, which we proudly support through industry leading benefits and compensation.
Connection
From golf and racquet sports to lively social gatherings and unforgettable dining, The Hideaway creates space for connections whether with nature, family, friends, or your own sense of balance.
Retreat
Each visit is an escape from the everyday. Savor gourmet dining or casual bites. Unwind in the wellness spa or take in the stillness of the pines. However you choose to spend your time, The Hideaway adapts to your rhythm.
At The Hideaway, every detail is shaped by intention. From our equity membership model to the unmatched sense of retreat found across the property, our pillars reflect what matters most: ownership, connection, and a deep appreciation for the private, personal, and elevated. Together, they form the foundation of a club experience that is anything but ordinary.
