Fantastic course in great condition

Can't think of anything bad except, I would like to see pictures of each hole on the scorecard so you know where water was lurking. Great course in pristine condition even with all the rain.
If you haven't played it watch out for water on the par 5s. Second par 5 on the back is a brute. Hardest part of this course is the par 5s and the approach shot to the greens.
If you are anywhere near chestatee, drive the additional 10 miles to play this beauty.

Surrounding course scenery was incredible.

I played the Masters Sunday and of course, the pace was really fast. Considering it was a private course, the greens were not as well maintained. But over all, my guests were very pleased with the course layout and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I am looking forward to play again.

One of the best overall golf experiences I've had

The complete experience at Achasta was truly great. The staff were so incredibly friendly, the course was in great shape even though the greens were a bit firm, and the pace of play was wonderful. I can't really think of anything else to want out of a day of golf. The course itself is laid out in a beautiful environment with surrounding lots and homes. Excellent use of the natural lay of the land and bringing in the river into play on multiple holes.

Am looking forward to playing again at a later date, course conditions will be improved

course had cart path only for carts, areas were wet, but still should have allowed carts in rough
. I understand their reasoning though.

Very pleasant experience!

Tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers were in excellent condition. The scenic river running through the course makes you stop and enjoy nature. It has been about a year since I played this course, but I'll be tuning in to golf now for another deal. Magnificant golf experience!

Super Layout!

Course was in great condition considering all the rain they had and the time of year. The only thing that was bad was the "cart path only" but we expected that due to very soggy fairways in some areas. Greens were in good shape and they putted very true. Quick, but not too fast. The people there from the man at the guard house to the staff in the club house were the most friendly and helpful people I have ever run into at a golf course. They were so great it didn't even upset me that I was charged $28.00 for a hat with a $25.00 price tag on it. LOL! Can't wait to go back and play when the conditions are back to normal. If you get a chance to play here.........Just Do It!

Beautiful course hidden in North Georgia

This is one of my favorite courses! The Nicklaus designed course proves to challenge even the seasoned veterans. Couldn't ask for many better views than the Chestatee River that runs right along the course. The staff is great and provided ample opportunities to extend their services to me and my guest. Maintenance of facility and course is top notch. Not sure if this course has a bad lie anywhere! I will most certainly play here again on multiple occasions.

Very enjoyable layout and challenge.

All personnel friendly and helpful. Grill closed at end
of round (probably not many came from the distance we
did and we were looking something to eat before driving
back to Atlanta.)
Still a very fun day.

Nice course to "splurge"

As for course conditions and scenery, Achasta is more than adequate. I thought the number of holes "with a twist" was just right and the more challenging holes weren't beyond a bogey golfer's skill level on a good day. I was a little disappointed that since they probably have quite a few non-regulars playing there, there was no accommodation for understanding the course lay-out. Specifically, there's water everywhere. Creeks, the Chestatee River, ponds, and a lake affect all but a couple holes. They help to add beauty, but if you don't have any idea about course layout, you might as well plan on bringing an extra sleeve of balls. So track down some aerial views or drawings of hole layouts. You'll enjoy it more if you do. Overall, I thought this was a great course to play with a vacationing friend because it's unique and beautiful and challenging. But if you're going to play it regularly, the unique aspect of it doesn't make as much difference and there are several other beautiful, well maintained courses in the north Georgia area that you can play for a lot less.

Stunning course, challenging with outstanding staff.

You could not ask for more in a golf course!

You would think that a course in the mountains would be up and down with hills to climb. WRONG.

The course sits in a river valley and is wonderfully groomed. Watch out for the river that runs thru the course. Make sure you purchase the book for layout and distances.

This is a great course and I will play it again!

Great views and pristine fairways

Course is fun to play, really great views and wide fairways. Could play pretty easy from forward tees, but it is a good test from the back tees. Rerally nice practice area as well.

Fantastic flat course, well conditioned, great design.

Great layout in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. Well conditioned course is in great shape anytime of the year. Great practice facility is right next to the first tee. This would be on anyone's top 5 courses in N Ga.
