Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course
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.

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!
Great Mountain Course
Course was beautiful. Tons of deer. Played midday on a Saturday and took 4 hours. Staff seemed a little stuffy but the guests were friendly.
Better than the office
Had a day off through the week and decided to play. Great staff and a great course. Will definitely be back.
Great place to play. Not for new or below average golfers. This is a challenging course but it is very rewarding when you get it right!
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.
In our rotation
Not clise, but worth the drive. Course is in good shape. #5 is really the only quiky hole. Staff is friendly, practice are is expansive.
Staff was amazing... golf community was very friendly and inviting.. course is tough, challenging and rewarding.. I will definitely be back.
Slow play.
Two young guys playing front of us, hitting many shots. One of the hole, they hitting 3 driver shot each. We're waiting right beyond of them. After first two holes, we have to wait 5~6 minutes every holes.
Hidden Gem
Had an awesome day at Lake Arrowhead. Staff was very friendly and course was in great shape and very challenging. Not a corse to bomb it off every tee box. A lot of strategy needed to play through this course. The fifth hole was a monster but fun. Will definitely be back.
Beyond beautiful
I've played some of the best courses in the U.S., and few rival this beauty. Exciting, challenging layout starting from the first hole. Every hole more stunning than the one before. Mountains as a backdrop on every hole. Pristine course. Sticky, but not slow Bent grass greens hold well. (Be sure to repair your ball marks) You can really go after the pin on these greens because your ball will check. A zillion friendly deer on the course. Spotted some wild turkey too. Fairways, greens and tees in superb shape. Super-friendly and helpful staff who you can tell take pride in this course. This is no cookie cutter course... the unique design of the course keeps you on your toes. An absolutely must play, must return course.
Great course!!!
Super unique!! Love the elevation changes!! Very scenic!! Highly recommend!!
The course is beautiful and the staff is great.
Course conditions are near perfect except for so many ball marks on greens that weren’t repaired and it leaves a lot of holes on the greens. The other negative is the golf carts have no power and cannot pull some of the grades without having your partner get out and push, this is unacceptable. Otherwise this course is beautiful!
