Type Public/Municipal
Par 72
Length 6522 yards
Slope 140
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.

Great time

Had an excellent time playing Sugar Hill. It was a perfect day and I hope to get back out there soon. Shot a 98 so it wasn't my best round, couldn't get it together off of the tee. But all in all had a blast!

Fun Course for Good Friends!

It's been awaile since I played this course. I was immediately impressed with the overall improvements. We anticipated a busy round because the weather and the scenery was beautiful! So we limited the joke telling until after we teed off and finished putting. We will definitely return soon.

Poor grounds keeping and entitled people

Being rushed by a group of guys behind us who were literally running to their carts after hitting their balls. We offered to let them play ahead of us numerous times but they acted like they didn't speak English until they called the Marshall who didn't care to hear our side of the story. It's a public course so you're bound to end up playing behind beginners that take their time.

Also the grounds need a lot of upkeep done for the price they are charging. All of the t boxes on the part 3s were nothing but dirt. No grass what so ever. Found it hard to find a good patch of grass on the other holes as well.

Finally, the course does not allow personal coolers or outside food or drinks. This would be okay if they had a beer cart, but they don't.

Needs a lot os work

Looks great online, course not being taken care of at this time. Know grass on tee boxes and not a lot in fairways either. Lots of areas with washed out areas. Just not a fun experience at all, probably want play again.
