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.

First Time Playing

Beautiful Location, Just Needs some TLC

This was my first time playing this course. It’s a beautiful location with great backdrops of the mountains and especially nice with the leaves changing colors. The pace of play was fantastic, but think I got lucky because it was a weekday. The course was challenging so needed good accuracy to score well. The staff from the check-in to the starter were very, very friendly. My only concern was that the course conditions could be better and would be unbelievable if spent more time manicuring the fairways, tee boxes, and putting sand in the bunkers. In addition, really need some additional yardage markers and perhaps some distances to drop-offs so not hitting blind. Lot of fun and looking forward to playing again!!

Can’t Hot Driver!!!

This course was horrible!!! It is junk that you have to hit over or lay up to on every hole which makes it impossible to hit driver. If you want to practice your irons, this is the course for you!!! First time, last time!!!

Please fix the sand traps

Being new to the area this course has quickly become one of my go to courses. Challenging layout for all levels. The only thing that keeps me from giving course 5 stars are the conditions of the sand traps. Some are washed out, some are loaded with rocks, they are worse than waste area bunkers. Unless you’re playing for money just pull the ball out of the trap as to not ruin a wedge.

A course with great potential

The course layout is challenging but fair. The rough is tough to play out of. Every hole makes you think about how best to play it.

Bunkers need a lot of work. Unplayable.

Greens were very slow due to recent aeration.

Some greens were not in best condition.

With some maintenance this course would be an excellent option

Course in fair/good condition

Fairways were in great shape. But sand traps were in awful condition. Greens were punched and sanded almost two weeks ago and were very slow. Also probably not mowed in a week it seemed like as they were shaggy and slow. Staff said bunkers were planning on getting an overhaul.

Greens Beat to Death

The course is difficult, with hard dog legs all over the place. I couldn’t hit a driver the entire front side. I drive the ball 275-325 range. Challenging, wacky course. Beautiful Mountain View’s, but ruined by the greens. Clearly nobody repairs their divots, and these greens were like butter fixing divots, super smooth. You can tell if people actually fixed their divots then the greens would be pristine, because the grass is in great shape, but the turf is so soft that divots are devastating if not repaired. Hole 18 green, which is right by the clubhouse, was fantastic. In the end, the course was fun, but the greens and the price make this one a pass for me in the future, and I played on a $66 Hot Deal! 😂
