Well groomed, greens slightly inconsistent.

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.

Amazing & Beautiful

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.

great setting

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

Beautiful Course

The only negative to this course is the drive up to Dahlonega from the Atlanta area, other than that its flawless. Hands down the nicest course I have played in the area, always in pristine condition. Has a few challenging holes, but overall the play is very enjoyable, I would highly reccommend taking a drive up there if you havent played there already.

Fairways and greens were perfect. Rough is thick and hard to hit out of - great course. Worth the drive from Atlanta.

Will Defintely Play Again!!

Course was in great shape given all the rain we've had. Fairways cut close and a little soggy but still allowed carts using 90 degree rule. Greens a good speed and rolled true. A very enjoyable day with my wife at the twilight rate of $50.

A real nature round - saw deer, ground hogs and even wild turkeys while playing!

Beautifully laid out.

First time playing this course and was very pleasantly surprised. It was cart path only due to heavy rain prior to my round, but we still finished 9 holes in two hours before the rain came back and chased us off. Would definitely play again and recommend to friends.

Outstanding, beautiful, well maintained golf course.. but a little pricey.

Achasta is one of the nicest public courses I've played in Georgia. The staff was friendly, the clubhouse and grounds were beautiful and the course is outstanding. Achasta also has a supurb driving range and practice facility. The conditions are perfect, the layout is terrific and the course is difficult but very fair and playable. The course is a little pricey, but if you are OK with paying $90 for a round of golf I would highly recommend Achasta.

Great layout around beautiful river.

I have now played this twice and just love it. I like the spacious areas around the greens. The views are awesome and the design excellent. No surprise that Nicklaus designed this....just fabulous!

Course is fine, nothing great. I found the other reviews loftty...

Workers on every other whole, awful range balls, club members pretty rude. No starter and twosome after twosome. Hey folks join groups. Was super long roud. Course very wide open, nothing superior to more local tracks. Maze getting from hole to hole. For $35 ok, for the 90 minute drive back to buckhead, forget it.

Wide Open!

Tee boxes, fairways, greens and even bunkers in great shape. We played from blue tees and driver was not needed on many holes. Wide open fairways on most holes with some target golf shots required for others to be in position for approach shot to green. If you are a long-hitter, I would recommend black tees. Beautiful course and surroundings in scenic foothills of GA mountains!

An hour drive from Buckhead but well worth it. Pristine conditions in a gorgeous natural setting...what more can you want? Friendly staff in a private club atmosphere. I will be back.

This spectacular golf course should be on everybody's must play list

If you live within 1000 miles of Atlanta, this course just made your bucket list. I played the course just before the start of summer, so the weather was perfect. The greens were excellent, and the natural beauty of the surroundings, and the way the course is laid out along the river are spectacular.
And to top it all off, I got a Hot Deal!
This golf course is a true gem.

If you're into golf course architecture you will like this course. The holes are naturally laid out along the river, and there are no gimmicks. Jack Nicklaus has done a masterful job and the holes look like they belong there. Pick the right set of tees for your skill level to maximize your enjoyment. If you're into golf tourism, play here and some other North Georgia Mountains courses that are highly rated.

Just a beautiful walk or ride...

I love this course - it feels and plays like a private club without the cost and attitude. It is a little bit of a drive, but well worth the trip!
