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.

Overall, this is a good course to challenge your golf skills throughout the course. The greens could be rolled or improved to accommodate aeration.

The course is overly challenging for its level and layout.

The course is close to home, reasonably priced, and the carts are decent — but overall, it’s just too punishing for what it is. Multiple holes lack any forgiveness, and while I’m not a bad golfer, it feels unnecessarily difficult. Course maintenance could also be improved. For about the same price, I can play Trophy Club and get a much better experience. The sand pits were rocky... multiple holes have zero forgiveness around the green, and if your not straight your in the forest. This was my second time playing here, and it only confirmed my initial impression. I wouldn’t return. Again, I'm normally in the 80s 90s so average golfer here saying it's just not worth it.

Sand traps look like they had not been raked in a month, green were punches and we were not made aware of that

Sugar

This course has improved a lot lately. Greens were in really good shape just need a little longer grass on the fairways. But this place has definitely improved over the last couple years
