Apple Mountain Golf Club

My experience at Apple Mountain was nearly ruined by a pair of guys on tractors that came into the fairway of the 10th hole right as I was about to tee off and paid no attention to our group at all. We were well ahead of the group behind us but by the time we were able to tee off they had caught us. Then my on approach shot shot they came back around and literally never slowed down as I was trying to hit my approach. I had never seen anything like it.

Also the green were so slow it was like putting on shag carpet.

The course was enjoyable and the greens were excellent. We completed our round in 4 hours on a busy Friday morning. The pace of play on front 9 was excellent, though we slowed down on back 9 due to shorter par 4s. Overall excellent course and value.

This is a great course. Would like to see a little longer grass in the fairways.

Apple mountain was it excellent condition, the pro shop staff was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. The course was in excellent condition and we just had a great day at Apple mountain!

Really had a great time the golf pro was super nice just a great day to get outside

I live this course Chad and his staff always take care of me when I play. It’s winter golf so the greens are off a little. But for what they charge it’s prefect. Fairways were cut good and with all the rain we had we still was only 90 degree rule with karts.

Great job Chad Efields

Apple Mountain is a solid course with a lot of elevation changes. The fairways, greens, and tee boxes are in good shape; however, there were some bunkers in need of repair on the course. Otherwise, Apple Mountain has good value for the money and is worth a round if you are in the North Georgia mountains.

Really like the course....surrounded by the mountains....nice, scenic holes...

In the course is in good condition, very pretty layout. For a Saturday the pace of play was good. The only problem was the greens all had areas with no grass, If you had a long putt you would almost always have to go through an area with no grass. Not good!

The course is the greens are in horrible shape. It's clear this course is not maintained, and the owners aren't willing to put the money up to keep it in shape.

On the 12th hole, A ball flies over me. I turn around and see someone I haven't seen driving straight down the fairway with his wife and daughter of 12 years old. He drives the ball in front of me hits it to the green and and I say sure, you can play through. He looks at me and says "thanks."

After this I had to wait 15 minutes as the persons in front of us I had been working in a reasonable rate of play. After seeing his daughter driving the cart and running around on the greens and I'm sitting there having to wait to play I was done. I want to the cart barn called the pro and he didn't care. So I can't support a course that won't enforce etiquette, thinking dition I don't really care about cars I'm not that much of a stickler. But I know a lot of people are.

Our family has been playing this course for over 10 years. Conditions are usually really good. Course amenities are

nothing more than a few water coolers and small selection snack bar, but here’s the biggest issue with the course: management has ZERO clue how to handle crowds.

We played Friday and Saturday before Father’s Day. Friday at another local course and Saturday at Apple Mountain. The courses were night and day difference when it came to handling crowds. I’m fine with slow play on crazy busy days, I get it. Both had it. But apple mountain ran out of carts, had no system to get people carts, had NO starter all the while groups were having to wait or miss their tee time because groups ahead got carts because no one knew who to give them to know. Pace of play was 5 1/2 Hours! On an easy, short course. Not a single ranger monitoring pace. They had over 100 people on the course, you think anyone with half a brain would think it wise to send staff out on the course to monitor, but nope. So not only were they over capacity, overbooked, they didn’t even have the basics like a starter and ranger on the course to help play. This is a fine course and worth a 30 dollar round, but avoid on weekends and holidays. They have no clue how to handle crowds.

This was my first time playing Apple Mountain.

It reminds me a a lot of small-community, rural golf courses. Excellent people and staff with just average to fair course conditions due to being in a rural area and hence not getting a ton of play to be able to have revenue to keep the conditions nice.

The greens were quite shaggy and very slot. However, the greens were in good condition without a lot of non-repaired ball marks. Other than the fact they were shaggy and slow, I liked the condition of the greens.. There were a couple greens in not great condition (#10, 18). But, for the most part, the greens were very playable.

The fairways were still coming in (Bermuda grass has not yet come out of dormancy). The rough was very "rough" with weird grasses, VERY long and appeared as though the rough on many holes had not yet been cut this year.

The course has some fun holes. All the par three holes play very long (especially from the blue tees) with several of the long par 3 holes being up-hill to elevated greens.

All in all, a fun course, but just don't expect to play on a course with pristine conditions.

Make sure to take some food with you because the club house has no restaurant and has no food (sandwiches, hot dogs, etc.) The only thing the club house has to eat is candy and bottled drinks.

We have played there often and have been very impressed.

they have had a lot of rain in the area but on this trip the course was terrible.

Save your money on this one.

It is always a pleasure to play this course !! They keep the rough at a decent height and give you the chance to have a good score !! Pace of play was 3.5 hrs !!

Long drive to the course for an average course. Folks were very nice and the course was wide open; but the greens were or need some help. The fairways are in good shape but they could mow the tee boxes.

Will I likely play there again, probably not. Unless there is some golf package special that happens to attract its just not likely that I'll play there again.

For the money and the time; probably could be a little closer to home; but overall, an average course with very nice people.
