Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Highland Course at Lake Arrowhead weaves through rolling woodlands. Every hole offers unique scenery and stunning mountain views. The golf course was completely redesigned in 2008, which makes it one of Atlanta's younger courses; nevertheless it has quickly garnered a strong following amongst locals thanks to not only the challenging layout but also the affordable rates and beautiful setting. Lake Arrowhead's convenient location makes it even more appealing, it sits less than an hour north of Atlanta. The golf course features strategically placed bunkers and plenty of trees. It is a layout that requires careful course management. The 14th hole is arguably the most difficult. This tricky par 5 is known to test even the most skilled players.

Lake Arrowhead

Great tough course with beautiful views. Only downside is the kitchen isnt really open during the week so getting a bite at the turn wasn't really an option. Still an awesome course for the price. Cannot wait to play there again.

Great course miss managed

The course is challenging and can play pretty long depending on tee box selection. My biggest issue is the staff and golf carts. Second time I have been there and my tee time was late because they don’t have enough carts. I teed off 25 minutes later than expected and could not finish the round. It caused a massive backup in play because everyone tried to go off at one time. Too bad it’s a fun course but they need to manage tee time better and golf carts.

Almost ruined this all on my own.

Due to an error on my part we showed up Saturday and were advised they did not have our reservation. After some back and forth we figured out I was my error (failed to double check date). They were gracious and were able to fit us in a little later. Some had a leisurely lunch and hit the range for a bit and then played our round. Greens we in good shape, fairways still brown and some spots rock hard. But that is due to the season. Overall a great experience.

She’s a real beaut Clark!

Boy oh boy what a beaut lake arrowhead was. From the incredible staff to the beautiful course you definitely won’t miss out coming here. Their chicken salad croissant sandwich was insanely good, their greens were a little slow but I’m garbage at golf so that doesn’t matter…..BALRIGHT! and their staff were incredibly helpful and nice! Can’t wait to come back and play several more times! PS: The guy on the range that talked crap about my ability to golf, he didn’t break 100. HERE WE GOOOOO!

5 hr 45 min pace of play

Just horrible pace of play. The longest round I have ever played at close to 6 hours on a Saturday morning. Marshall did nothing about it and was rude when passing by.

Course has some views and is pretty nice. There are better mountain courses but it’s not bad. Just crazy slow pace. A lot more uphill than downhill shots. Would have enjoyed it a lot more if they could cut down pace of play.
