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.

A hilly fun brute
I was surprised to find the course at the rear of a very hilly private access housing development about a 15 mile (25 minute) drive west out of Canton Georgia. It sits in a very beautiful setting, and I imagine it was quite a challenge to lay out and build the course on the available terrain (it certainly "shows" it the "flow" of how each individual hole was shaped and positioned - and a good many times on the back 9 necessitated a lengthy cart ride from a green to the next tee).
At altitude and given sloping (sometimes nearly reaching the "severe" category) that had (and likely keeps) the course in a dry firm condition, the run out of shots was welcome and reminiscent of similar experiences on courses out west. Of annoyance was the shoddy mowing work around the greens and the slowness of the speed on them.
The front side "shines" despite the numerous weeds one notices in the bunkers and the replacement needs on sections of the cart paths. If it weren't for being forced to go with less than driver on the first three par 5s, I'd be clamoring to revisit the place when next in the area.

Well worth the drive
What a fantastic and challenging course. The drive through the neighborhood to the course took 15 minutes but I was not at all disappointed when I got to the first tee. Right off the bat, you know know you're in for a round that's going to make you work. I loved every bit of it!

Poor conditions, some greens not cut.
Don’t spend time at this course. Good views but very poor conditions. No even teeboxes, no fairways just weeds.

Great Golf Course
I’ve played Lake arrowhead golf course several times. For the dollar it’s truly worth it. Very challenging course and the fairways and greens this last week were perfect. You can’t ask for a better course for $35. I recommend this course highly I will probably be back this next week.

Problems
Arrowhead was a fun course to play ... if you could find where to go! The course is severely lacking signage and therefore you’re left roaming around looking for the next hole.
Also, the pace of play is TERRIBLE! The Marshall at #1 said “you have a fivesome in front of you which I don’t normally allow, but I know the guy in the orange and he’s good so I’ll let it slide.” It took 4 hours and 40 minutes to play 18. And the guy in the orange, was terrible!
It’s affordable, but go somewhere else. Unless you’ve got 5 hours to play 18. Then, this is your place!
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course!
Good GN value / Difficult for high handicappers
Good course conditiion overall, greens very good. Too difficult for me . Multiple holes for not big hitters require 1 and sometimes 2 layups so if not consistent hitter that knows his distances can mean trouble Thought it was a nicely designed couuse wiih some interesting holes with lots of dog-legs and was a pretty mountain course
My main negative here was it was an adventure a few times finding the next hole, they could use rmore/better signage. Also strange at a course thiis nice didnt see ball washers. Starter there is always very nice and helpful. Wish i was a better golfer so i could make this fine , challenging course home' but too difficult for me on a regular basis' --one of the better GN values for sure

Golf etiquette anyone?
Not sure who has the worst golf etiquette the member taking 10 or 12 shots on a hole not letting anyone play through or the grounds crew Constantly driving up on you in the middle of your shot. It is unfortunate because it’s a nice course with a nice layout and really nice staff
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
