Rating 71.6

Nestled in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains, Sugar Hill Golf Club tumbles across elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. The course is artfully laid across the rolling hills, weaving through stands of mature trees, to provide it with the maximum level of challenge and the best views. The natural contours played a role in determining the placement of the bunkers around the greens and fairways as well as shaping the sharp doglegs. As if the golf course didn't already have enough challenges, there are also deep grass canyons and water hazards to contend with. The par-4 fifth and the par-3 12th are memorable water holes, both featuring large lakes that lurk in front of the greens. Sugar Hill G.C. is known as one of the toughest golf courses in the area.

Hurry up!

My father and I played a round with a tee time at 8:10am. We were paired with two guys who had very little golf experience. They were great. They did not take too long. We had a foursome behind us who kept hitting right up on us looking like they were trying to play speed golf. Admittedly, there were others behind them, but it was cart path only and we finished the round in 3hrs and 51 minutes. Despite that, the Marshall came around telling us to hurry up. He was clueless and rude. I did mention this to the starter when we finished, and reminded them that all 4 of us paid to play as well, and were not playing slow. Annoying on an otherwise fun day.

Terrible Experience at Sugar Hill Golf Club

I recently had the misfortune of playing at Sugar Hill Golf Club, and it was one of the worst golf experiences I've ever had. First and foremost, the entire course is designed in a way that forces you to walk up and down steep hills and across vast terrains, as golf carts are inexplicably off limits everywhere. This made for an exhausting round, especially in the summer heat.

To make matters worse, the course itself is in dreadful condition. The grass is brown and patchy throughout, and the greens are terribly groomed. It was nearly impossible to get a good roll on the greens, and the overall appearance of the course was unkempt and neglected.

I would not recommend this golf course to anyone looking for an enjoyable round of golf. Save your time and money and play elsewhere.

The course needs to cut the greens. The course had previously punched the greens. Now they need to be cut.

Sugar hill

I’ll start with the rudest woman working the food area. So rude I didn’t bother to get a sandwich. Would also be smart to have some food ready. Greens once again in sub par shape. Can’t remember the last time I played here and got to play on good greens. Also had a slow group in front of us and nobody for at least 2 holes in front of them yet no one pushing them. Might be my last visit.

Great value, course in good condition, greens had just been punched which was unfortunate and a heads up would've been nice, but other than that, good spot

Sugar hill

The greens were punched and sandy so that kind of ruined the golf. Will say the pace of play for once was excellent fairways were in decent shape. No cart girl didn’t help me.
