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.

One of my Favorites
Second round at Lake Arrowhead and honestly can’t think of a better value. Staff is warm and welcoming. Layout is incredibly challenging and course conditions were great.

Fall in the foothills
With the sweetwater ipa’s flowing, the turkeys in the fairways, and deer tracks in the bunkers, what a great Monday on the coarse. It was very quiet, only my music playing and my beer cans crunching, were the only sounds to be heard. Pars and birdies were few and far between, but who cares. I was alive and thriving. Peace
Hi, Will2720907. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon!
Wonky layout
Bring lots of balls, even for the low handicap golfer
Bunkers are a health hazard too

Hello, u034754875. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Very bad sand trap conditions
I admit the views of the course are good, but the greens and bunkers were well below par. Shocking considering that we've had zero ran for bunkers to look this bad.
Hello u000006208877. 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!
Bunkers need to be cleaned up.
Everything was great except the bunkers.
Hope at least the weeds are taken out.

Enjoyable course
We loved the course. Not too busy so we could play at a leisurely pace. Well maintained with the exception of the back nine greens which looked like they were undergoing some maintenance.
We'll be back to play it again. Generally challenging but not frustratingly so.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, joocurry1! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Hidden gem
First time here and only 45 minutes away so wish I had discovered this place sooner. Played during greens aerification so they were not mowed and slow. Hot dry weather recently showed on most of these bent grass greens but I do plan to return in cooler weather to see what they are like then. Great scenery and views everywhere. Fairways and tees in good condition. Only disappointment was the condition of the bunkers but they may have had heavy rain the day before so I’ll give them a pass, especially since I managed to avoid all of them. Wish there were more water coolers, especially in 90 degree plus weather like we had today. Super friendly staff and nice clubhouse with dining that I did not try.

Play smart golf
The course is somewhat challenging. It will bait you into trying to go long instead of playing smart. Overall a great course, bring lots of balls, you can loose them in the rough off the fairway since the grass hides the ball. And if you try and go long odds are you wont find your ball. I will definitely come back when it is not 95 degree's.

Great day
This is a tough course so bring your A game. We played fast on first 9 but it was backed up on the back. The course was in good shape and greens on front was nice while the back 9 greens have some bad spots. Overall was an enjoyable day and food at clubhouse was just what we was looking for after the round

Mountain Course
This is a challenging course due to the hilly conditions and tight layout. My advice is to play it with patience and be conservative. If you try to attack the course it is likely to penalize you. Hole #5 is ridiculously hard. It's essential that you keep your ball in the fairway off the tee and then be as close to the hazard as you can. If not, you'll wind up in the weeds. The elevation to the split fairway is what makes it so challenging. If you do hit it in the hazard there is a drop zone on the other side. Don't waste your time, just go to the drop zone and play from there. Overall, the course is fun as it is challenging. The greens and tee boxes are good on the front 9, but the back side is showing some stress. Overall, it's a good play for the money. Great staff and nice club house.
