Plenty of elevation change

Great vistas on every hole. This course is narrow but there are no tricks. Some water but it is not overly challenging. Overall a very nice course to play.

Poor condition.

Greens better than they have been. Fairways, tee boxes poor. Cart paths poor. Views are great. If you go don't keep score, enjoy the mountains, wildlife, and company.

Challenging layout ... excellent greens but tough

Tight mountain course. Accuracy off the tees a must. Greens have a lot of break but are fair to judge speed.
No. 15 is a must-play par 3 ... 155 yards but a 180 foot drop from tee to well protected green.

First Time Playing

A great experience!

This course is an extreme mountain experience. Be prepared to lose a few balls and find a few balls even if you are a straight hitter. There are shots that require two or three clubs more than the distance indicated and some need a club or two less than indicated. One par three is like teeing off from the rim of the Grand Canyon- A great fun hole. The greens were in very good shape but the rest of the course could use some attention. Over all it was tricky but very playable. A fun day!

Scenic but very tight.

Wish this course had more forgiving rough areas. Several of our shots were hardly off the fairway yet were completely lost. One ball we lost on the rough just before the fairway on a dogleg because it was so overgrown. Always impressed with the elevation changes and scenery but the punishment for hitting a ball left or right is way too high. Wish it was more open so we could enjoy our round more. With our somewhat skilled golfing crew we were, we had way too many lost balls.

Its a mountain course there are a lot of elevation changes. Pretty tight. Lots of uphill approaches where you can't see the bottom of the pin.

rough fairways

We got a great price on GolfNow and it is just over an hour away so let's go. The course is okay. The fairways are pretty rough and need a trimming. I couldn't tell where the cut line was for the fairways. The greens were in terrific shape. There is no straight shots on the greens but all were nice. We went early to hang out in Helen a little while but that was a bust. Helen is not what it used to be. We will certainly play again.5/27/1

Great layout in need of professional attention...

No starter; no marshalls - a clue of course management. The course layout is sensational, BUT fairways are erratically kept; often weeds rather than grass. The greens do not offer true rolls, traps have occasional lumps of sand, and tee boxes are not maintained. Grass/weeds are not routinely cut and cart paths look like they are in repair - for months.

CHALLENGING, PRETTY, MOUNTAIN COURSE

NOT A COURSE FOR BEGINNERS. MOSTLY NARROW FAIRWAYS, HILLY, HITTING UP AND DOWN THE HILL. A FEW FUN, DOWN THE HILL PAR THREES. OVERALL GOOD EXPERIANCE, HILLY BUT PRETTY MOUNTAINS TO LOOK AT AS WELL AS LAKES AND STREAMS TO CROSS. PLAN FOR LOOSING MORE BALLS THAN USUAL.

Great day. Beautiful scenery.

Play went quick. Not crowded. Whether was perfect . Play was fast. Course is starting to green up. Rainy days have taken a toll. Cart trails need to be resurfaced. On course toilet facilities need maintenance (toilet tissue).

My wife and I really enjoy playing this course.

We really look forward to coming to Helen and playing here. We don't have any course like this in Florida. We enjoy seeing the deer and other wildlife here.

Good Deal, Great Scenery

The North Georgia Mountains make for a great backdrop. The course is challenging with narrow fairways and little room for error due to the dense forestry on either side of most fairways. The greens were in terrific shape but the rest of the course could use some attention. Overall, it was a great drive up to the course and a great deal once we got there. Would definitely recommend it!

Greens good, Fairways fair, cartpaths terrible

The greens were in better shape than my last visit. The fairways were not too bad, except I hit a rock in the ground with my six iron. Kind of upset me since it was not visible to the eye until after I took a divot. The cartpaths need extensive repair work. I had some minor surgery about six weeks ago and I thought my incisions would open up again on some of the cartpaths. The fairways were much smoother than the cartpaths.
