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.

L A Comments
The course was in the best condition I've ever seen. Greens were very slow but true.
Pace of play was extremely slow and did not see a ranger for the entire 18 holes.
Fun and Challenging Course with Great Views
The views and elevation changes are amazing. On many holes the views of the surrounding mountains are beautiful. The course was in fantastic condition. The course is quite a test for your game. The location is quite remote, but that adds to the experience. I saw at least 10 deer, 3 snakes and tons of birds. I had a great time today. If it is your first time playing the course, I HIGHLY recommend playing with someone who has played the course before because on the front nine, there are several holes which you do NOT want to hit driver as you will hit through the fairway (#1, #3, #5, #8, #9).
The course has a very challenging layout with tons of elevation changes. The course is well maintained and in great shape. The greens today were rolling quick, smooth and fun. I live over an hour away from this course and feel it is well worth the drive to play here. I will be back to play again.
RettJ, 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.

slow 4 some in front
We are two people playing in two golf carts. The foursome in front of us played extremely slow and wouldn’t let us pass, (poor sportsmanship) and I’m positive these guys picked up my ball on hole 14!!!!!!
Shame on you!!!!

Great challenging course!
Really enjoyed this beautiful and challenging course. It is a good ways from the city but I really enjoyed the layout and the condition of the course. Will definitely come back and play there again soon.
Thank you for your review, yury145. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Love it here, quite challenging at my skill level
Have played here quite a few times thru the last 10 years or so. Best value in north Georgia in my estimation. I’m a 23 handicap so I find it stretches my abilities with some long forced carries on a few holes. But great layout (except for 14) usually in nice conditions, greens nice. Flora and fauna an extra treat in North Georgia. I will keep coming to this friendly place until I can get it right.
Thank you for your review, mshammont. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Amazing golf course half way between Atlanta and Chattanooga
Lake Arrowhead golf course has a very challenging layout, tons of elevation change and is just pure fun to play. The course is well maintained and in great shape. I live over an hour and a half from this course and feel it is well worth the drive to play here. I have already sent a friend to play this course and can't wait to come back out myself.
Your feedback is important to us, iaagrad. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course.

Tough course without course knowledge
Played this course for the 1st time in a foursome that were all 1st timers. Quite a few odd holes on this course, and the premium on this track is to know where not to hit it. Even some shots that are struck well may run out into trouble. With that being said, I'll play it again and should be more comfortable the next time. Course conditions overall were good, the driving range is very nice, and the staff was friendly. Greens had been aerated a few weeks back and are close to being very nice.
Hi prlam. 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.
Wide open course
first time playing this course and I loved it. Wide open so even noy so perfect drives make the faraway. Greens roll smooth and great views of the mountain.

Well done Lake Arrowhead golf!
I never thought I would say this in a golf course review but in addition to the usual overall great experience at this course I have to commend the entire staff for their strict following of established social distancing protocols.

Horrible staff
Worst experience ever ! Staff treated us like crap!
We were told to go faster because the “members” behind us were upset when there was two 4 sums in front of us and there was no where to go ! We usually play very fast. Then they bothered us the entire time and finally I told the ranger we would not be returning in which he replied “good don’t” second time playing and will never return ! They only care about their members and no one else. Don’t be a public course if you are going to treat non members like absolute crap. 10/10 do not recommend your course could be crap but if you treat us right we will be loyal.

Hi jdevans33. 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.
Just ok
Nice course for the money. But it’s your typical club with members that feel entitled to their slow pace of play and poor etiquette. They need Marshall’s to enforce it. Otherwise your looking at a dreadful five hour round. I don’t plan on ever going back. Nice scenery though.
Hello Albatroz. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Blah
The way the course is designed it makes the everyday golfer play like crap even though he or she plays a good game. Don’t play there
