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.

Ok for municipal course

Very hilly course. Be prepared to lose balls as they don’t end up where you try to place them.

Very slow play ruins the experience. 18 holes should never exceed 4 hours.

For the price it was worth a play. I probably won’t play here much or ever again.

Root canal is more enjoyable

This course is not in the greatest condition but I knew that. Thought it would be a nice round qith my son back from college. Was I mistaken. Pace of play was terrible. We made a comment to the marshal who we saw on the third hole. He talked to the group but did absolutely nothing. He also didnt come back to us for an update. Also, he never was seen again.

I had not played here in over a year since they have received so much play that tee times are packed

We quit after 8 holes which had taken 2 hours and 15 minutes to play. We would have had at min a 2.5 hour nine holes and more then likely it would have been 2:45 hours. Ridiculous! Pace of 5.5 hour round but the worthless marshal either didn't care (as long as he got his free golf) or that is the standard at Sugar Hill.

Sugar hill could give me free golf for a year and I wouldn't come back.

Just need to find a good dentist for a more enjoyable root canal.

Mountains

Extremely hilly. Hard course to play with so many forced carries over gullies and water. Undulating fairways unduly penalize off target shots. Questionable cart path only holes.

Great Layout

Beautiful course in fall with leaves changing, every hole is different, hilly but walkable. Course is in good shape, but some tees are pretty worn out. Paid fair price.

There are no signs of “no cart”.
