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.

Takes some getting used to!
This course is interesting and very challenging, on terrain that perhaps didn't offer the best template for a golf course. If you like forced carries and target golf, this could be your course, but this is not a layout for someone who just wants to rip it and go find it. Valleys, waste areas,, ponds, creeks and woods line or cross most holes. it makes for a visually attractive course, but not one that is really a lot of fun to play. Trying to play up a set of tees to manage the difficulty might not work either, as a number of holes demand a layup off the tee. The Par 3 holes are all fun, but 3 of the 4 Par 5's are not well designed. Many holes feature uphill approaches where shots on or just short of the green can get swatted away back down the hill. Nice driving range and clubhouse.
I imagine this course might be more of an acquired taste, to say the least.

Restaurant has a an epic fail
Restaurant has a 87b health department rating and staff was very inattentive. We shouldn’t have to wait 10-30 minutes to be served by staff that looked dead at us upon arrival. Epic fail!
You’re giving this course 3*’s for the restaurant? I thought this was golf pass, not yelp! Grab something on the way in next time.
Scenic but challenging
A wonderful day of golf at Lake Arrowhead - such a pretty course and unlike anything else around Atlanta. Conditions were challenging with some breeze on a few holes but otherwise a perfect day. Great practice tee/green. One of my favorite places to play.
Thank you for your kind words! 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.
Nice course, nice staff. Slow play.. 5 hours to complete.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Very bad fairway design
Fairways are way too hilly and makes for unfavorable play. Did not enjoy this course at all. Old course was much better.

A real challenge
While this may be one of the most challenging courses to play under ideal conditions, under the current course conditions it becomes unruly. Finding any grass to hit off in the fairways and around the greens made the lies even tighter that normal. With all the rain that we have been getting their several areas on the course had what only be described as waves of grass lines in the fairways which created another challenge in getting a flat lie. Several of the tee boxes were missing grass as well or had recently been seeded. The greens were extremely slow.
I remembered how much I enjoyed playing this course in the past but until the greens keeper can spend some much needed time on this course I would not recommend spending your money on this course.

Course is a good layout.
It was cart path only due to rain and course played very long. Would love to play again in dry conditions.

Beautiful mountain course with unique layout
I've played this course a few times now and loved it every time. The mountain scenery and landscape is gorgeous. It has some challenging and unique holes which I think is what makes this course great. The friendly staff are top notch and you won't find a better course for the money. Fairway/green conditions are usually pretty good, especially during the non winter months. I would highly reccomend
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course.
Beautiful course
Located in a private community in the north Georgia mountains. Stunning views, nice course and friendly staff. This is NOT a walking course! Lots of hills.
Thank you for visiting us at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great Course
I've been playing Arrowhead for 4-5 years. The course is always great value for what you get.
Only tbing to note is that they could use some new golf carts by this point. They were out of carts when we arrived, so we had to wait for one (which I've never had happen when playing here). When we did get two carts they weren't in the best shape. Lovely course and staff though!
