Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course

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.

Slow play
No Marshall on course and waiting on tee boxes for 15 minutes
Noon tee time 2:50 minutes to play front nine
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.
Check your ego!
Great Course, very challenging need to keep them straight.. Greens in great shape, as day heated up they got fast. Need to play this course smart . It’s just not; hit it hard. Staff was awesome to deal with!
Good and not so good
The greens are in better condition than last time I played. The sand traps are still needing attention
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! 😂
Please Repair Your Ball Marks!
Played a late Sunday round and the course was fairly crowded, but the pace of play wasn't too terrible. Our foursome waited on every hole, but still finished in 4:10.
The course was in excellent shape. Fairways were good and the rough was thick requiring some searching for your ball if you missed the fairway.
The only negative was all the ball marks on the greens. The greens were very soft and would hold shots well, but there were tons of HUGE unrepaired ball marks on every green. It's like nobody even tries to repair them. The course should give each player a free divot repair tool and encourage their use.
Oh yeah, the deer were out in full force, standing in the middle of the fairways on many holes.
Greens and tee boxes were in terrible condition
Tee boxes and greens were in terrible shape. We were not told the beer cart was broken down before starting for the 2nd week in a row so we couldn't get a drink until after the 9th hole. Course overall is a tough. Fairways were good.
Beautiful scenery but greens really bad
Apparently aeration is planned but it's waaay too late, Greens are in dreadful condition. And that par 5 hole 5?? Omg what a joke that hole is
Nice course but …
Greens are in need of proper maintenance and truly take away from a nice golf course experience.
Sand traps are not very well cared for either
