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.

Decent course

Enjoyed the layout and difficultly of the course.

The tee boxes need some work and also grass clippings were everywhere. The first time I played here was summer 2020 and it was beautiful no complaints and now a year later I was not pleased with the conditions and maintenance of this course definitely not worth the $57 I paid more like $30

Everything was fine until my 14th hole

The initial check-in process was great. The range was good. Didn't have any food but it smelled good. The starter had me pair with a lady and had us start on the back 9 since there was 2- 4somes just teeing off on 1 and just another twosome that he sent off to start with 10. He said it would allow us to keep a good pace of play and not be waiting around. So again, we started with the back 9. We finished and started the front. On the 5th hole there was what looked like a maintenance man working on a part of course between the tee box and the fairway, He ducked down when I teed off for safety. My playing partner has already gone ahead up to the red tees past this man. As I came down the cart path, he motioned for me to stop. Keep in mind the previous twosome who started on the back nine and my playing partner had already passed him but he decided to stop me, a black man, and asked if I was who he just saw on the back nine. I said yes. He said how come you're playing again on the front nine. To which I responded I'm not, because of the back jam on the front nine they had us play the back first. At that point he said well enjoy the rest of your round then. I felt profiled and unwelcome on the course. I golf 2 to 3 times a week, and while I'm no pro, I understand golf etiquette, the integrity it takes to play the game, and the character expected and what I exhibit when I play. To have my integrity questioned, especially when no one else that had played and started with the back nine that I was aware of was questioned. I will not ever play this course again. And if anybody asked me if the course is any good, I will convincingly say it's a fairly okay course with mostly decent staff yet not welcoming to Black individuals, because that certainly is my experience.

Poor

Not someone who writes reviews but this is Absolutely the worst place I’ve played in many years. Poorly maintained. Bunkers had barely any sand, mostly 3ft tall weeds, rocks, gravel, and clay. Sore on the eyes to look at. Course said the greens went under an aeration process in early June. I guess they don’t water the course because the greens were junk. Good layout. Def a good track if you know how to work the ball but absolutely embarrassing how poorly it’s taken care of. $60 for a course that’s maybe worth $30 on a Saturday. No water, no cart girl, no rakes, but that’s because the only think you can rake up is gravel and clay and monstrous weeds. Wish I had taken photos of this dump. Get new owners and save the track.

This course could rank with mountain vista courses. Every bit as hilly as Innsburck in Helen, GA. Great layout, in great shape with high elevations to many greens. Could be the best value in the country.

Amateur Hour

Painfully slow play. Courses in the area have been overrun by individuals that lack even the faintest hint of etiquette. Greens are poor. No one repairs ball marks and they are artificially slow and spongy. Course has such potential but their clientele is ruining it.

Never playing here again

This course was in horrible shape from the tees to the greens. There was no sand in 90% of the bunkers and the other 10% had grass growing out of them. The pace of play was unacceptable. There were several twosomes and singles allowed to go out late morning on a Saturday. This was a terrible waste of $50 and I wouldn’t recommend you make that same mistake.
