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.

Good course for the money

No complaints with the course. There are some challenging holes and also some easy ones. It is hilly with several holes quite uphill. The condition of the course was good, a few spots here and there but greens were good if a little slow. My main complaint is with the service at the front office and the grill. Neither one was very friendly, this is the 4th or 5th time playing and the gentleman in the pro shop has never even tried, it is always like you are inconveniencing him. The starter and ranger were very friendly and helpful. I will play this course again because it is convenient and affordable but won't count on service.

On a side note, the computer was down and they couldn't process credit card payments when I arrived. The ball machine at the ranger was dispensing less than half the normal amount of balls. Everyone was complaining, it may have been due to the computer issue.

Solid course, worth the hike.

Great course for the price, greens are so-so, but very manageable. Fairways are forgiving and the OB is very "find your dang ball" friendly.

Pace is solid enough, not too much traffic, even on a weekend.

Biggest snag is the confusingly agitated at all times person working the kitchen. So sorry I asked for food you provide here I guess. And cmon, if you get asked about your day, don't point at the tip jar and say "Bad".

Beautiful views, friendly course staff, and highly manageable course layout. Will definitely play again, but will just bring a few protein bars instead.

Nice course

Enjoyed playing. Range was closed when we got there but people were hitting when we left. A challenging course but fun. We were a foursome and were in view of the foursome ahead of us. A twosome blee by without a ward , rude and we had to wait for them to clear. Otherwise the course was fine. Can’t do muck about inconsiderate people.

Avoid at all costs

Honestly Management should be ashamed. The staff was incredibly rude, pushed our tee times up 10 minutes because they were fully booked and had an attitude every step of the way. The Gentleman who was taking payments in pro shop had the personality of a wet rag. Saw several patrons take their golf cart to their car to load up but for what ever reason our group was told we were not allowed to do so. The state of the course was atrocious for what they are charging. The pins haven't moved in god knows how long that the roots made every putt roll right out. Bunkers where mud pits that haven't been maintained since the Clinton Administration. Cart Girl was nice but their drink selection was Trash, charge for Ice even if you buy multiple drinks. Clearly the Owners only care about scamming people at every turn. Wont be back or recommend to anybody for the foreseeable future.

Staff was rude to all of my party when checking in and excuse was… they are fully booked but when we arrived, clerk was on their personal cell phone…”super busy”.

The tokens for range balls are very inconsistent. 1 coin gave me a full bucket, the next coin was half a bucket. Highway robbery.

Took over 5 hours to finish the round because they don’t book according to tee and group which caused 3 groups to pile up waiting. Greens are absolutely terrible with aeration not healed for over 2 months according to other reviews, heavy sand and weeds growing out of them.

Tee box locations are laughable on multiple occasions.

I wont be back for the foreseeable future.

Greens in rough shape

Course is fun and challenging, but greens were in terrible shape. Heavily sanded, uneven and long putting greens, practically unplayable. Two holes the tee boxes were closed off forced to play from fairway. I am disappointed that they did not make this aerification alert on golfnow with the condition its in.
