Course Highlights
Lake Arrowhead delivers a strategically challenging mountain layout with spectacular views, well-maintained fairways, and exceptional multi-tiered greens. Consistently friendly and helpful staff make every visit welcoming, from the clubhouse to the first tee.

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 7212 yards
Slope 136
Rating 74.9

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 the best if not the best I’ve played in GA. The course is simply awesome!! Ms Stacey at the pro shop is really pleasant and helped us enjoy the Lake Arrowhead experience. It is definitely worth the drive for sure.

Nice Course

Nice mountain views greens, excellent fairways nice, sand traps need work , but after playing with a member. He said because of deer coming thru it was hard to maintain. But a very enjoyable course that requires shot placement.

Hope to play again soon.

Beautiful, challenging layout

We are on vacation from Texas and wanted to play golf, so we played at Lake Arrowhead which was open during a rainy day. This course seemed to have good drainage since it was sometimes pouring and we still could mostly play our ball where it landed. It is hilly and gorgeous and it seemed common to see wildlife ( we saw several deer).The 4 of us loved this course enough to come back the next day to play again.

Foggy day of golf

Played the course on a foggy day as we were the only ones out there. The course was wet but playable without any standing water. We were informed that it was cart path only which makes it a little longer to play. Greens were in good shape for this time of year. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will play again

Nice day. Strange course

Beautiful fall day for a round with my son. The course layout is a little odd. The first tee is a par five that requires an iron shot off the tea second hole a medium length par three. You don’t get to hit driver until the third hole. The course has a lot of character with a mixture of Highlands and woodlands holes, but it’s difficult to find a level lie even with well struck shots in the undulating layout. This seems unfair at times. A couple of great holes with water features that were very fair. Greens were in average condition for this time of year. All in all a nice day on the course and a good value for the money

Coarse in great shape, except for hole 5

Hole number 5 needs to be filled in with dirt and grass where you cross the bridge going up to hole 5.

Just to difficult for beginners and intermediate players.
