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.

Great value course

Played in 3 hrs 20 mins

Greens were a little slow, but in great shape.

Got lots of rain this year, so everything is green and beautiful.

This is a mountain course, so there are areas where rock and clay is exposed on the edges of the fairways.

Very friendly staff.

Stunning and Challenging Course

The course is well cared for, stunning views and challenging fairways, but so much fun to play. It’s a great test of your fairway accuracy.

Spoiled rich kids ruined our outting

Great course. The local neighborhood boys made it a disaster for me and the wife. I don't recommend playing here if you don't want to be harassed and have teenagers hitting in to you on purpose. We were on pace to play in 4 hours and we were waiting for the group in front of us, the boys were rude and disrespectful.

Beyond Beautiful

Steve the Starter was a gem! Great advice on shots! The views were amazing, the approach shots were stunning. Overall challenging course for a beginner. But playable. If you hook or slice the ball, make sure to bring extra balls! As an intermediate golfer, it was tough, but enjoyable. A must play if you’re in Northern Georgia.

Another great day at Lake Arrowhead

Lake Arrowhead is a challenging but fun Golf Course. The surroundings and view are awesome. The greens and fairways are well kept. I strongly recommend this course if you are really into golf. I would not recommend for a beginner as many of the holes are long and over canyons.

I love playing here and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great course

Awesome course and staff. There were a couple tee boxes that needed some love but overall the fairways and greens were in mint condition. Pretty difficult course and a lot of 2-3 tier greens. Have to be able to work some shots at this course. Excellent lunch at the clubhouse too. Will definitely play again
