Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Challenging
The course was on the long side but still good. Make sure if you don't have a local playing with you that you have access to course layout or at least a GPS. Lot of hazards you cant see and yardage becomes important. Very friendly staff and I felt welcomed! Condition of course was good considering it's winter.

Extremely tough course
Let me start with this: winter golf is tough anywhere. Combine it with a more difficult than most course and first time playing and, well, recipe for a grind.
It would be nice to see a "blended" set of tees between the Blue and the White as there are dozens of difficult hazard carries in play. Really nice views and overall good conditions for winter although the greens could've been a bit more consistent.
My group will consider a return for a summer round, but likely with our own set-up on Blue/White tees.

course was good and very friendly staffs made me comfortable all time. just that the team ahead was playing very slow and had to wait every hole at the tee box. other than that, everything was good.

Winter Golf
Playing in winter so course was as expected for winter. Challenging with many lay up shots.
Thanks so much for the great review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course.
Priceless
So I’m sure that I have a biased opinion about the overall location, being that I am from the area, but there has to be something special about this course. From the time you arrive in the clubhouse parking lot you are met by the beautiful grasses of fairways and greens centered amongst the background of the North Georgia mountains. Courses like this will continue to keep golfers like me hooked far into the future.
Thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We hope to see you again soon!
Great course, great price
I really enjoyed my time playing this course yesterday. The course is in great condition, my only complaint would be the U.S. Open thick rough on three of the holes, But I wouldn’t be complaining I guess if I hadn’t sprayed my drive into them I. The first place. Great scenery, greens rolled well and were soft, will definitely go back.
