PECAN VALLEY PLANTATION & CONFERENCE CENTER – ALBANY, GA
Description: This plantation themed hotel/conference center features 36 holes of golf, 18 of which winds through a square mile of existing mature pecan trees in a grove that produces over $1 million worth of pecans annually. The other 18 will be a contrasting links-style course that meanders throughout an additional 800 acres of grasslands and quail habitat. Obviously, this acreage comprises a large portion of the hunting preserve, which is a major feature of the golf and hunting resort. Albany is the “quail capital” of the nation and the many plantations along “Plantation Row” have featured excellent quail hunts for many years. In addition to bird hunting, trap, skeet, and a sporting clay course for the sportsman are also provided. Also featured are a spa and wedding facilities, as well as various old plantation experiences such as a smoke house, carriage rides, formal gardens, and equestrian activities. Proposed budget: $15 million for 36 holes.
