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.

First Time at Lake Arrowhead
We were the first group out for the day and saw deer on the first few holes. The ranger was a little pushy on the front side but the group behind us was a hole and a half back. Fairways were in good condition. One green had a little crab grass but most were in decent condition for November.
We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course!

Monday Golf
Very challenging for a couple of 70 year olds and one 80. The forced Carrie’s are tough for older players. greens were in great shape and very fast. Pin positions were very tough on the undulating greens.
You have to know the course to realize the best way around. But, we love the setting, deer, flora, so we will come back to try again, and again.
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.

Nice course
It’s a nice course with some tough holes on front 9.
It’s also nice arriving at the Tee box and not having a couple groups backed up basically step up and tee off

First, but not the last time.
The guy checking me in was totally indifferent. The gent, I’ll call a “Course Marshall” was a much nicer guy! Played the front 9, so $35 was towards the high side. Due to lack of rain the fairways were pretty browned out, the tees were in decent shape and the greens were good. Pace of play was good. Enjoyed the course layout and tee boxes well marked, The vistas were fantastic. There was a fair amount of crabgrass in the fairways. Would inplay it again ..,Yup.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your feedback to our team at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great experience.
Course improvements over the past month have made a huge difference. Always the most scenic course in our area.
Thank you for your kind words! The team has worked very hard to get where we are, and we appreciate golfers like you taking notice. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course
Great Vistas will play again
The fairways were really dried out, grass cut pretty low and crab grass fairly abundant. That being said, I still enjoyed playing the front 9. Would I lay it again? Yup.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your recent experience with us. Please know the current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and we have projects ongoing to improve the course. We are looking forward to conditions improving! Thank you for playing and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Not Bad for the Money
Course gives you some challenging lies, even with good ball placement. Didn't like weeds that were growing in the sand bunkers. Pace of play was awful, 2 groups always waiting on the tee box. Left my range finder and somebody was kind enough to turn it in.

Beutiful Course & a Great Price!
With the exception of the fairways and greens having more weeds that I would expect, this was a beautiful course in the mountains with spectacular views! Great price and the clubhouse offers some delicious food and beer. A must go, especiallly for the price!

Great GA Mountain course.
Beautiful vistas with deer, turkeys, and many birds. Nice fairways with considerable slope, and varied elevations for more fun! Several holes require long shots over water and brush. Wish they would consider putting in some landing sections for short hitters, but still beautiful holes. Play it frequently and prices are very good! Overall, great course andnwell maintained. Bob G
