Slope 140
Rating 71.6

Nestled in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains, Sugar Hill Golf Club tumbles across elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The course is artfully laid across the rolling hills, weaving through stands of mature trees, to provide it with the maximum level of challenge and the best views. The natural contours played a role in determining the placement of the bunkers around the greens and fairways as well as shaping the sharp doglegs. As if the golf course didn't already have enough challenges, there are also deep grass canyons and water hazards to contend with. The par-4 fifth and the par-3 12th are memorable water holes, both featuring large lakes that lurk in front of the greens. Sugar Hill G.C. is known as one of the toughest golf courses in the area.

Decent course

Sugar Hill

Is owned by the city. Prices are good and the tee times stay full.

Ridiculous that the sand traps were not raked in the mornings. We teed off T 11:00 and no traps had been raked.

The cashier in the golf shop, middle aged black fellow was pretty rude and indifferent to the Korean man in front of me.

Kept dismissing his questions and abrasive. Interesting enough he was rather pleasant p me , a Caucasian.

He this

Is not the first time

That I have noticed

This from

The same black man. Maybe he's just turning got around but he needs a class in sensitivity and race relations. I will play there again

Punched greens

It would have been better without the punched greens, but we were warned. 5/30 the starter was not friendly but 5/31 a different one was.. Lady selling beer inside was on but pro shop guy was not. They need more carrs. I will be back. It was good,

Challenging

Great staff, challenging course for fairly new players, nice greens, GPS in carts, Very budget friendly.

I'm from a different state and am working here locally. i have played 5 different courses in the past 2 weeks and this is my favorite so far. Unfortunately i was only able to play the front 9 2 days in a row because of rain. Yes i was given a rain check to make my experience even better.

Find another course

Absolutely ZERO respect from other golfers in front of or behind you. Got hit into on the second hole while on the green with an obvious group in front of us holding it up. No biggie accidents happen. However pace of play and etiquette (no marshal to keep things on pace) is absolutely TERRRRRRIIIBBBLLLLEEEEE!!! Myself and one other got stuck behind a 4 some who thought they were Cam Young and would not let us pass or atleast pick up pace of play. Ended up calling it quits 2.5 hours later after hole 8. I personally will never go here again. On a positive note, it is a fun course in good condition for what it is with a good layout and tough if you don’t hit your shots.

Played Front 9 holes

Went on as a single. Hole 1 green 4some, let me play through. 2,3 no one ahead. Hole 4-as I rounding to the green, The 4some on hole5 was scrambling to get started, don’t know what the were doing since the hole was totally empty, no one reached the water. After 10 min waiting they finally got to the green. I reached the green & they have not teed off. Waited for 5 min for them teeing off & reached the tee. They all four at the bottom of tee box waiting for next hole. By this time, they all were no longer visible, until hole 100 yards to Hole9. All players were teenagers. No Rangers were spotted during the round. YMMV. Staff was helpful, accommodating @ both at Checkin & Grill!
