Kingwood Golf Club & Resort
About
Kingwood Golf Club in Clayton is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by nearly 150,000 acres of protected national forest. While playing the course, it's likely you'll hear the roar of the nearby Chattooga River. The course is considered one of Georgia's best, thanks in large part to the stunning location, which lends mature hardwoods, rippling brooks, and lush green hills. The visually stunning golf course can seem intimidating, but four sets of tees guarantee that players of all skill levels can enjoy playing it. The par-71 layout measures just over 6,000 yards, a demanding length given the small greens and tight landing areas. A variety of elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers will test your accuracy at Kingwood G.C. Tee shot placement will also be an important factor in your score.

The course was very nice except for #15 and #17
The course was very nice. The only drawback were holes 15 and 17. It seems a shame to finish your round with those holes being a part of it. On 17 I would recommend the golf course connect both areas of fairways.
Fair bu tchallenging
Course was great condition and beautiful views. Don't let views distract from shot placements required. Score able holes but placement key
Kingwood A Must Play
I teed of at 11:20 am. No wait. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. I loved playing here.
Disappointment. I'm a diebetic and they did not let coolers on the course. So when I went in for a bite at the turn, there was no snack bar. They said they had Hotdogs and sandwiches but they were out. It was 1pm. Candy just doesn't cut it.
All in all , great golfing though. I would return.
Great Course, Great People
Love this place! Really fun course and great people!
Great mountain course
Gorgeous views every hole! very relaxed & friendly staff.
Great Course
Had a great day playing golf. Course was well laid out and challenging. Many blind areas where you need to be aware of golfers behind you.
Kingwood
Course is always is good shape. Can catch sum really good prices on here. #15-17 are tricked up holes especially 15 &17 other than that really fun track
conditions
Never has been great, but it's got a lot of bare ground and loss of grass. Greens are good.
New owners, again, and long time staff have been fired.
Great mountain golf!!
Will play this course regularly. Great course, well maintained, awesome views.
friendly staff
Very friendly staff, great layout, some spots on the course that need to be addressed but overall very good quaility.
A Favorite
Great mountain layout, scenic views, well maintained. Excellent Bar and restaurant. Wonderful value as a resort.
very nice course
I liked the layout. A couple of quirky holes. Tough walk as it was cart path only and very slow greens. I look forward to playing this course with open fairways and fast greens.
This is a fun course
enjoyed round. Staff friendly,course very nice for this time of year.
Kingwood
Tight, hilly and very challenging and there is only one difficult blind tee shot
Fun, short, challenging
I have played this course several times and always enjoyed it.
The jewel of NE GA.
Short but challenging and fun. Elevated greens, creeks and hilly. One of my favorite courses.
Superior greens
Great mountain golf. Excellent condition. Challenging. Short but tricky.
well worth a visit
I am 9 and my wife is 19 handicap and we played Kingwood 3 times in 4 days. A short course (about 6000 yds) from the back tee but don't let that put you off. There are enough holes where you can hit driver to shorten tricky (dogleg) 4's or make 5's in two. Course condition pretty good eventhough greens had recently been airated but putted ok. Cart man very friendly with dood advice on other courses to think about playing. The only problem were the flies when playing holes through trees (probably the time of year) they were out in abundance and at times it was very unpleasent. An upside on the wild life was watching a 3 ft long black snake in the stream with guards the 16th green - awesome.
Fun with great views
Great little course we found. Cant wait to go try when the greens are ready.(had been aerated and sanded). Tough course when you havnt played it before. We are looking forward to the next round with these guys.
Great value
This is one of my favorite courses in the area and I will be back.
