Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course

Beautiful Drive to Club, Super Friendly Staff, tough Course but Fair.

I will be coming back

This is first of all a beautiful course with lots of scenic views. This course is challenging but not too difficult if you keep it in the fairways. I would definitely use an app or range finder to get distances to penalty areas. I am a 12 hdcp and for my first time playing the course I almost shot my hdcp. The greens were good, people REALLY should repair ball marks though, but this is an issue at most courses nowadays. All in all it was a great experience and a fun round.

The course condition was better than I have played on it in sometime. Greens and fairways were perfect. Course is one of the hardest courses in all of GA due to its mountain layout and very few safe places for your ball to land on mishits. Your ball is basically either playable on the fairway or gone forever. However the views and atmosphere make up for this. My only complaint is if you have a later tee time, the clubhouse closes at 6pm. I would have liked to use the restroom and I needed a new glove and some tees when making the turn. They also have a nice dining area that closes at dinnertime.

The greens were much better than three weeks ago. They were smooth but a little slow.

The tee boxes also improved but are still in poor condition in places.

I have been a member at Lake Arrowhead for about 9 months now. Everyone is supper friendly and helpful. This place will take your breath with some of the scenery you will find throughout the course. Wildlife is always in abundance as well. Deer and Turkey are seen every time I play. The course is in great condition since the spring green up. It is a very challenging course and requires you to plan you shots to stay out of trouble.

Pace of play leaves alot to be desired.. No marshal to be found.

Glacial pace of play!

3 of the 4 par holes are ridiculous.

The views are beautiful. The designers put some really weird holes out there.

Beautiful course. Conditions are pretty good - besides the traps. I have better sand traps in my backyard. But holy cow - stay away. We teed off at 10:50 - finished 18 at 4:45. unacceptable. After hole 3, I counted 6 total groups on holes 3 and 4. SIX.

When the old grumpy Marshall Don (yes I name dropped you, you COWARD) drove by, I simply asked if we were “encouraging pace or play.” He replied back “7:30 AM,” as is his smart response was supposed to satisfy me.

I have an idea - how bout you space out groups by 12 to 15 minutes instead of stacking them on top of each other by 10 mins. Don’t let twosomes out on Saturday mornings. Have the Marshall do his job.

The folks in the clubhouse were super friendly in the morning, but by the end of the round, everyone (golfers and staff) were on edge. I wonder why?!

Absolute JOKE of a round. Joke of a staff. Joke of a course. Stay away. I’m sure they will do all they can to get this review deleted and if you want to speak more about, go ahead and call me GM. Because I plan on checking on this review daily. If it gets removed, I’ll put it back up. Feeling very petty on this fine Tuesday morning.

Good luck arrowhead!

We were on time for our tee time. Marshall made us wait 15 minutes so he could make 2 random groups play together, after letting a 4 some before that go off early. Took 6 hours to play. Unacceptable.

We tee’d off at 4:40. We finished 9 holes at 7:20. A group of young adults with little or no golf knowledge, held up 5 group of golfers. The marshal was no where to be found. The worst pace of play I have ever experienced and want to experience!!!!! The day sucked!

Beautiful location, great course, some very challenging holes with very helpful staff on the course, pro shop and in the bar.

Probably my favorite public course in the area.
