Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fun course but driving range mats terrible.
The course was in good shape. The greens were slow and could of used some care but no bald spots. The grass tees on the driving range were closed and the mats off of the driving range were terrible.

Just too hilly for me. Not your typical GA course.
Greens were hairy. Very Hilly course. Not a course for me. Shot 84 from Blue (15 handicap) so not difficult but you need to play target golf.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your time with us and that you didn't enjoy our course. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Terrible Marshall
We brought a cooler for sandwiches and water. No alcohol. The Marshall was such an imbecile that he embarrassed us in front of other golfers about bringing breakfast and snacks. No one was on the course to serve food or Gatorade, water, anything until we approached #18. He went so far as to disparage us about driving a golf cart in the parking lot because I left my shoe in my vehicle.. How do you get from #9 to #10? Through the parking lot. I've played here before and the course is always in good shape but.... some respect and candor would have been nice instead of outwardly demeaning us before we hit our first tee ball.

Best draining course in the area
Played here many times, layout is good, some real challenging holes. Bunkers are terrible, tee boxes and fairways are in good shape. Greens are perpetually slow, though they are finally healing from being punched almost two months ago. Course drains well after a rain. This is one of the easier courses in the area, I will continue to come and play. Priced lower than most.

Fix the sandtraps
The sandtraps are unplayable. If the fix the sandtraps it would be amazing !!
Thanks for your review! We apologize that our sand traps didn't meet your expectations. With the heavy storms we've gotten, they've washed out the traps. We're currently playing the sand traps as ground under repair. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again son!
Fix the sand traps and then its great!
The sand traps are some of the worst I've seen. A lot rocks and weeds in everyone. Just got new clubs and noticed a scratch on a club do to the rock traps. Spend 3 days pulling the weeds and biggest rocks with new sand and I'll come to this course all the time.

Getting better
The course is good for a weekday rate but I don't think I would pay more then $35 for a round. Greens it looked like had recently been top dressed. Some flags would not even go into hole so you were shooting blind into green. Specifically number 9

Greens poor
Tee to green is great. Geens no so much. Poor condition. Greenside bunkers are terrible. Very compact and with weeds growing out of the, Very few yardage markers.

Bumpy ride
Love this course with its mountainous layout. While the fairwarys look great, right now the greens are very bumpy and the traps are full of weeds and empty on sand. Cart girl did a great job. Small range with hard carpet mat, decent putting green. Friendly staff.

Trending Down
Sugar Hill is one of the cheaper options in the area, but you get what you pay for. It has a nice variety of holes and is a full par-72, but the conditions have been getting worse and worse. 90% of bunkers are unplayable - we typically just take a free drop if we end up in one.
Greens are not good, and the main reason for a lower rating. I’d probably say 2.5 stars out of 5. They have not bounced back from aeration, which doesn’t even appear to be recent. It’s impossible to get a true and consistent roll on any green. Best one is probably 13, but even then it’s not good. There is no point in reading any breaks as it’s like plinko bouncing around on the greens. We ended up basically just hitting the green and taking an automatic two-putt.
Tee boxes are inconsistent, many are pretty bare. Tee it up, even on the par 3’s to get a decent lie.
Driving range is mats-only and the mat is old and worn down. I’ve never been when the grass is open. It’s a steep downhill range, which is fun to watch but hard to get a grasp on accurate distances. Range balls are old and beaten up.
Staff is friendly and helpful, saw a beverage cart 3-4 times throughout our afternoon round. Cart girl was friendly and helpful, as was the girl behind the snack bar.
This was likely our last visit to Sugar Hill, as the overall condition has fallen off considerably, and there are plenty of alternatives in the area. You can go and hit a golf ball there, and you might even have a good time, but there has not been much effort taken in keeping the conditions at even a reasonable level.
