Achasta Golf Club

Achasta is a great golf course. It is one of my favorites no matter what time of year you play. The staff is great and the clubhouse is very nice too. Make a trip to Dahlonega to check it out.

Love the course and the layout. Worth the drive to play this gem. Went after all the rain, a few of the holes were pretty soggy, but overall in great shape. Greens were excellent, rolling true. Will definitely be playing here again. Was able to book a hot tee time which made it worth the price.

Very playable. Good risk reward shots on many holes. Highly recommend.

After much anticipation, I finally got around to playing the course that I have passed hundreds of times yet never had the opportunity to play. You'll be happy to know that the course itself was WELL worth the wait. I would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a fair challenge. I'm a long hitter, so I enjoyed the course length. The rough was thick and you are rewarded for keeping it in the fairway. The greens are large and undulating and make you work for any potential scoring opportunity. I will say, however, that the staff was less than excited to see me. If you are looking for Southern charm and hospitality, this is not the place to go. But, this is the best golf I have found in North Georgia since I started playing 17 years ago.

My 1st time playing it. Blue/tournament tee, Sat. afternoon 2some. Pace was brisk.

The course is a real treat...for a mountainous region, the course is essentially flat. Its routed along the Chestatee River basin. A simple down and back layout for both 9s, but Nicklaus made a lot of interesting and enjoyable holes often using the river & it's tributaries as hole borders, and hazards to carry.

I was expecting the green complexes to have a lot more movement, but it's noted that he did not move much dirt all to create a fun, challenging course. There a few ridges, and tiers on the greens, but more gentle than most other JN courses I've played.

The conditions were good all around...I thought the FWs might be a tad soft being a river basin...they were...not really wet at all, only once or twice my ball picked up mud in the FW.

Typical JN design...even though water is a major feature in the design, he gives you ample landing areas, very playable for all levels...holes 13 thru 15 provide a great opportunity to score...a driveable par 4, followed by b-t-b par 5s that are reachable. Of course there are risks, but avid players I'm sure like that trio.

No FW visual for the 150 yd marker, which I didn't like initially, but quickly got over it....If you have not played Achasta, I would do it soon...trees are turning a beautiful color. I will be back.

The greens are pristine and VERY fast. The food is outstanding in the 19th hole. ALWAYS get the panini special whatever it is. Thank me later.

Thsi is one of the courses I can't wait to play again!

The course was in great shape. Great mixture of holes, walker friendly.

Love this course. Only played it during the winter and this was my first round in the warm weather...what a fun course. Greens were rolling fast and very smooth. Love the layout while it's a forgiving course there are still some holes with trouble that can be a round buster. Worth the trip and money. I will be playing again in a few weeks.

What a well keep course, the greens were very true and rolled well. Playing from the white tee was fun. I wish they had more "hot deals". It's worth the 55minute drive.

I tried this course since it was a hot deal - a Nichlaus design for under $40? - I was in. The course is a great layout and has some amazing views. Overall, in very good condition. Word of caution on weekdays - they have a scramble for the "seasoned" membership that has all tees used at around 10:30am. Very, very, very slow pace of play if you get stuck behind these retirees. It looked like the place was wide open when we finally finished at almost 4:00pm.

Achasta is a great course that was in perfect condition. Good practice facilities and a nice staff. Greens rolled well. Thoroughly enjoyed our round.

This thing is a scenic monster course set down in the old gold fields of Dahlonega along the Chestatee River. Long and well bunkered - but not impossible.
Beautiful clubhouse and good food too.

Upscale resort enviornment with pleasant clubhouse staff. Good course architecture along north georgia mountains river valley. Fairways feature tightly mowed grass bordered by thick bermuda gass rough requiring precise drives. Open front and ample greens with subtle slopes invite long appraoches and lofted wedges. Tuesday pin positions allowed aggressive approaches with birdie opportunities. Soft geens hold lofted shots and slow puts. Overall challenging and rewarding playing experience.

Achasta is a gem. If you've never taken the ride up to play, you are missing out. Probably my favorite in the Atlanta area.

Overall the course is in very good shape...especially the fairways and tees. The greens on the other hand seemed inconsistent were in need of a little improvement. If the greens were in super shape, I'd give this course a 5 star rating. The layout is challenging and creative...one of my favorites in central Georgia. With this open course, it is difficult to lose a ball unless you happen to find the stream that winds through it.

Despite all the rain the course is in beautiful shape tee to green.it had been aerified 2 weeks prior and almost completely healed. Thestaff sdoes a wonderful job maintaining and managing this facility.

Achasta is what all golf courses should strive to be like. The course is not only beautiful, but immaculately maintained. The staff is laid back, friendly and seem to enjoy working there. The course is a lot of fun to play and is challenging, but not so difficult you can't enjoy the round. I can't wait to play here again.

Its a wonderful course, so scenic in the valley surrounded by hills. You will hit all the clubs in your bag. The par 5 over the river on the backside will be the biggest test of the day. With all the rain its really in great shape

I love this course. The layout and conditions are great! This course will challenge you, but it scores very fairly. Definitely one of my favorite Georgia courses.
