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.

Better than expected

Had a low expectations due to previous reviews. Green was in good condition. Course layout was fun. There were lot of cart path fixing but that’s to improve so I am not going to complain about that. Overall I thought it was good

Highly recommend

Our group had not played here in years and for no particular reason. When we finished play today we all questioned why we don’t play here more often. The course is well maintained and offers a good variety of holes and challenges. The staff is friendly and made us feel appreciated ( rare quality these days). The practice area could use some updating, but all in all a very satisfying experience.

Tough Day

Sunday afternoons are always challenging with pace of play, but waiting 5 to 10 minutes before every shot is out of line even for an amateur golfer. I am a lower handicap golfer, but this course was challenging for me playing it for the first time, not to imagine being a high handicapper. Throw in some blind shots and several long carries, and you get really slow play. Left after nine and took my spouse to dinner.

Bang for buck

Excellent layout, conditions fair, marshal very unfriendly (insultingly so). I waived it off as a one off, b/c otherwise a very fun round of golf.

Probably would not recommend for high handicaps. Lots of target golf and elevation changes here.

Another day at the course

Great staff. Sand traps are not well maintained and treated as ground under repair. Restaurant closed on Sunday, which was a bummer because we would have purchased food and drink.

Think twice

Hadn't played this course in quite some time but moved closer to it in last year so thought I would give it a try. There is a range but it is sorely lacking. The fairways and greens were good but he traps were useless. Most of them lacked sand and had grass, weeds and even small bushes growing in them. One hole on the front 9 was closed for some reason and the only notice we received was a sign on a par 5 saying it was closed. We drove around it to the next hole but could not figure out why it was closed. No one notified us that we would only be playing 17 holes when we paid. It's a good layout and challenging but showing signs of decay and neglect.

Needs some serious maintenance

Bunkers are absolute trash, have not been maintained in literally months, 2 ft tall weeds in some of them and zero actual sand. By far the worst I have ever seen

Greens were very slow and bumpy.

I suspect half of their greens keeping crew quit and they have not been able to replace them.

The bar has a sign stating it was closed due to staffing but if you knew someone looking for a job, let them know
