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.

A marshal was offensive.

The course condition was satisfactory; however, a marshal displayed rude and offensive behavior. He claimed to be a Korean volunteer. I tried to avoid conflict, but he approached me aggressively. His demeanor was uncomfortable and seemed threatening. He appeared to misunderstand his role and seemed to believe he had the authority to remove golfers. His behavior was inappropriate.

Great course for the price

This is the best course for the money in this area. Yes, the cart paths are a little rough and there are some areas that could use some TLC (sand traps) but the course has some great elevation changes and is very challenging for the average golfer. I wish it was a little closer to my house so I could make it my regular course.

Typical Muni Course

A good course to practice some shots, not around the greens though. Tough to walk, not a friendly staff. Just a municipal with the bare minimum for a course.

Best value for the money in Gwinnett

A local course that is perfect for a round of golf any time of day.

Staff and prices are great. While it is hilly and tight on some spots the greens and trees are the best relative to cost.

Bunkers no Sand

Course was challenging! Over conditions were good. Cup hole in the greens was poorly cut on most greens. Almost no sand in the bunkers, rocks present! Hard on club and no way to play a true bunker shot!

Greens were pretty bad

Love this little gem of a Golf course. An absolutely terrific layout that may fool you with its short yardage. It’s not gimmicky, but intelligent and dangerous with scoring opportunities everywhere . Tee shots are critical and some of the most challenging you will ever play. I’ve played this course many times and it’s one of my favorites all time. We can no longer take the carts into the parking lot which sucks, but I get it and won’t bash that part anymore….lol. The greens here have some fantastic slopes that can reward you or destroy you. Unfortunately, the surfaces of the greens were generally terrible. After many rounds at this golf course, I was expecting good putting surfaces but no, they were terrible……..weeds, not aeration . I don’t live close anymore so I only get to play it maybe once a year…….cant wait to get back, fingers crossed for better greens. For first timers, you may need to play it twice as most of the greens are not visible from the tee, even on the short par 4s……a good app with the course on it will be beneficial. The carts do have the screens with the gps and layouts, but make sure you get one that works……one of our carts had one busted up and not working so the guy switched carts at the turn.

Great Scenic Course

I don’t think you’ll find a better course for under $50. Rolling hills and a few ponds make the course beautiful and challenging. We played from the whites and I am not a big hitter, but will definitely play from the blues next time. Fairways are in great shape. Greens are lush (maybe a little long and slow, but I am sure surviving the Georgia heat is priority. All in all, a great day on a great course!
