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.

Like this course
Played here around 10 years ago so it was time for another visit! Better then we remembered it, generally in good condition, fairways good to hit from and greens fast and true. Good to sit outside afterwards with a beer overlooking the 18th. One criticism - the crazy 5th hole. This absurd hole spoils a good course.

Took 4 hrs and 50 min to play on a 90+ degree day 3.5hrs of that we never saw the beverage cart, no water on the course to drink due to covid.

Great course for the money
Hidden gem in N Georgia. Beautiful course, nice mountain setting. Not usually crazy busy during the week. Greens roll perfect. Challenging layout, with enough tee boxes for any handicap. Wish I lived closer to this course.

Great Course - A Real Challenge with the Wind
Fun course nestled in the mountains of North GA. Course is in good shape for the most part. Course is very challenging when the wind is blowing. There are many blinds tee shots both uphill and downhill. The bentrass greens were running a little slow but were decent condition other than a few bad areas of greens here and there. Overall, a pretty, challenging and fun course.
As the course is nestled in the mountains, there are tons of up and down hills and elevation changes. The elevation changes adds to the challenge and beauty of the golf course. There is beautiful scenery everywhere, especially from the top points of the golf course along with majestic views and tons of awesome wildlife (deer, fawns, turkeys, hawks, etc.)
The cart we had, as well as the other cart in our group had very little power and could barely make it up the hills and going down the hills we had to be super careful as the brakes were worn out and we felt a little bit scared if the cart would stop on many of the steep downhill paths. The bunkers were in very bad condition with many having little to no sand and those that had sand had not been worked or raked in what appeared like a few weeks. No ball washing stations at all, so bring your own wet towel. Many of the fairways were VERY firm and in many spots very little grass so in lots of instances you were hitting off of hard packed dirt with very little grass.
Pace of play was great and four times during the round we saw a marshall/ranger driving around checking up on everyone and making sure everything was good. It is great to see a marshall out on the course helping keep the pace of play where it should be. Great job Lake Arrowhead!!!

A challenge
Course is in good shape for the most part. It is very challenging from the tips. There are a lot of blinds tee shots, so playing it for the first time can be a struggle. Greens were slow but were well kept other than a couple spots here and there. Overall, a good course and will make the trip back soon.

Nice course
Beautiful course nestled in the mountains of North GA. There are many holes with water hazards and landing spots so accuracy is a must! No ball washing stations so.bring some cleaning solution. Will return to play again!
