Barnsley Resort is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
During our recent two-week vacation, we included a visit to Adairsville, GA and visited with our former golf professional, Zach Cooper. Zach left The Landings and Florida to be closer to family and was hired at Barnsley Resort, an English inspired village setting in Adairsville. This resort is located between Chattanooga, TN and Atlanta, GA.
Barnsley Resort has a long history dating back to 1824 when Godfrey Barnsley from England acquired as many as 4,000 acres. The estate now includes a Jim Fazio designed golf course that is very challenging with several large elevation changes. The resort has 142 accommodations that include a variety of multi-bedroom estate cottages, single bedroom cottages and guest rooms and suites in the Inn. The historical Ruins at the resort date back to the Civil War era.
The property also includes a restaurant and bar, a spa, a pool which is currently being constructed, and several diverse outdoor activities such as horseback riding, sporting clays, historical gardens, a small museum and hiking. Several family and corporate events and weddings are held in the beautiful event buildings, in the historical Ruins and in the outdoor gardens. We had a wonderful time there playing golf, touring the grounds and Ruins and visiting with Zach. We definitely plan to return in the future and would recommend it for golf outings and family events.
