Wonderful Fall golf in North Georgia!

I love this course. It is a wonderful course, in a beautiful valley, surrounded by fall colors. Course is in perfect condition (as always). We play here as often as possible.

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.

The worse Nicklaus course ever played

Poor maintenance. No ranger to control pace of play. Pro shop staff can care less about clients. Lost a club on the course (with a sticker with my name and phone no. on it)> Had to call the pro shop 3 times to receive a return call. They promised follow up which never took place. After several more calls I was told they didn't find or knew anything about the club.

Really scenic course!

Love the Vista's and the many wide fairways that encourage "swinging for the hills". Played late afternoon and got to see the beginning of sunset. Very pretty. Will play it again and will recommend to others.

Jack Nicklaus course design-enough said

What a great surprise for North Georgia-You think you are going to play a mountain course, like most courses in the North Atlanta-North GA area, but this course will surprise-flat river valley-beautiful and a very fun course to play-no blind shots.

Overrated

Did not find that this lived up to my expectations. I did not find it as good as some of the other courses in the area for less money. Nothing relly remarkable about the course that would make me want to return and play it again.
