Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course

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! 😂

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.

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.

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

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

Nice course but the putting surface on most holes is not good .sandtraps also need care

Greens and tee boxes (we played white) were in serious need of repair; fairways were okay. The course was well laid out and very challenging for intermediate and beginner; would still challenge even the advanced.

Great mtn course, but tough

It was abarassing the number of balls that I couldn't find, even when hit in the middle of the fairway.

Have played this course a multitude of times over the years. It’s a very challenging design and the surrounding area is very picturesque. Back nine greens are in very rough shape. Plan on putting through ball marks, dead spots and inconsistent grass. Fairway and green side bunkers are also rough with weeds, bare spots and none were raked. Good course for the price to work on your game except for putting. Hope the ownership invests in the bunkers and greens.

The course was great however the back nine greens were in very poor conditions that made putting impossible as there was exposed dirt and grass that made ball move unpredictably. The course was impressive and challenging! I loved the course.

Obviously, the course has experienced a lot of rain, but the rough and the greens were impossible. I lost 3 balls in the rough even though I knew approximately where the ball had landed. The rough went beyond being punitive and was impossible in most places. Greens were shaggy and required putts to be jammed at the hole to even get close. Pure guesswork was required for makeable 10 foot putts; long-distance ones, adjusted for terribly slow rolls, were often more successful. The course design was gimmicky. Most egregious example was the par 5 where the design was almost 180 degrees from tee to green. A long drive was required to get near a possible second shot across a ravine; that shot, for me, was 180 yards, and I hit it perfectly only to find that it had run across the fairway into the woods on the other side of the fairway. After a drop, I still had 170 yds into the green...terrible hole. Others had hidden trashy weed fields that ate up perfectly-aimed shots. All-in-all, for a first-time golfer, it was a miserable experience. The old course was a lot more fun and was considerably fairer.

Previous reviews I read talked about how bad the course condition was. It was much better than I was expecting after the reviews. The bunkers are the worst part. Greens rolled good and the fairways are solid. Ball marks are a issue, I fixed atleast 4 or 5 per green. Great lay out. A true mountain course. I will definitely play there again.

Each hole is amazing. The mountains will take your breath away.

We are transplants and Georgia is not flat but it is gorgeous.!

It is distracting. Is it the course or is it the views!

Mid 90 degrees, no breeze and a tough course.

Played the practice round the day before in 4.5 hours for 18. On a day where they have a tournament, do not play. Many blind shots either from the T or your second shot. Definitely a tough course.
