An excellent course

Kingwood was in great shape when I played there. There has been lots of rain, so it was cart-paths only. Because of all the elevation changes, it's a difficult course to play "cart-paths only". A lot of walking up and down is required.

Beautiful Mtn Course

This course is in pristine condition. Greens are great and running true. Magnificent course with absolute beauty. Takes alot of course management as you should not hit driver just because it is a par 5 or 4. Some holes are real challenging and some are just FUN. I give this course 5 stars.

First Time Playing

Kingwood is a beautiful mountain course.

I have always wanted to play Kingwood from the first time I passed by it quite a number of years ago. I grew up on a mountain course in Charlottesville, VA, and love the different nuances of mountain golf. A great place to play and enjoy God's beautiful creation. A short course, it requires placing your shots in the correct position. Try this course, you'll love it!

Ball placement makes course challenging

I like playing Kingwood because the staff is always nice. The course will be pristine as soon as everything greens fully up. greens are slick and some are bi-level. All putt true.
The villas are within walking distance and sight of the putting green and pro-shop. I will continue playing here and getting my friends to play there too!

The course is an enjoyably challenging one.

We played while the Burmada grass was still brown and the greens had been aerated. I would love to play the course when it is in pristine condition. I am sure that it will be in the near future. If the course was in excellent condition, I would not be able to play because of the cost to play. I can play three rounds at my local golf courses for what I would have to pay for one round at Kingwood. If I can find discounts on GolfNow, I would not hesitate to play in prime season.

Must play in North East Georgia!

OK. Where do I even begin! This course is great! It has some challenging par fours due to elevation changes and some par fives that you can be putting for eagle. Short, mid and long par threes. This course is on the North Georgia Golf Tour schedule and it does not dissapoint as long as you are controlling your ball flight. Has a bar and grill that overlooks the 9th hole(par three over water). Club pro Lewis Lane was very friendly and courteous. Greens were in great shape! Played in February and this staff makes sure that your round is a rememberable one! Thanks to all of Kingwood Staff for a great golf round!

Great Course!

This is one of,if not the most enjoyable course that I have ever played.You can go low but if you don't watch out it will jump up and bite you. Kingwood is always kept in superb shape,everyone should play it at least once.

Beautiful course

Played here the day after Thanksgiving. Everyone was very friendly. Was paired up with three other players and had a really fun round. The course is very nice. It was challenging for a a new golfer from Florida not used to the elevated greens. Thanks to Doug, Martin and Andrew for their patience with me on the course! Definitely worth a visit. I will be returning next time we are in town.

Beautiful course in every way

This course is set in picturesque mountain beauty. But don't let the scenery distract your concentration on the course. It has its challenges which calls for every club in your bag.

fast greens

Had to relearn how to putt after my first putt on the first green - at least 3 times faster than the previous greens I played. It's a shame that several of the players in front of me were too lazy to fix their ballmarks! The greens were soft from rain and the ballmarks were craters. What's wrong with people? Kingwood is a beautiful track and though short in length it makes up for it with difficulty of layout. It is not a bombers golf course! The Golfnow rates are a steal!

Slow play and unfriendly stuff members

Played this course last on a trip with 14 rounds of Golf in TN, NC and SC. Our tee time was pushed back and we had to tee off No 10, 2 holes behind several foursomes which we already caught on No 3. Course is in great shape, greens were super (End of September 2012) and fairways were top. I really enjoyed the back 9 of this course. Unfortunately after 3h 40 minutes we were on Hole 10 ready to tee off. Pace of play is was disgusting. If it takes you over 6 hours to play a round of Golf something is wrong with the course management. We left only playing 9 holes. The comment from the staff was, well its a busy day. Personally I think it's major overbooking, greed and bad management.

Could have been a bad day, but this should not happen, never. If people are not able to play a Golf Course in a foursome at max 4.30h they don't belong on a Golf Course.

On another note on Hole no 5, my wife was missed by a tee shot 5 feet close to hear head. Nobody yelled FOUR. Instead they just laughed. A Ranger was right beside us. Do you think he would have said anything to them? NO. On Hole 6 the fourseome in front of drove back and picked up my ball. On hole 7, they drove back and played my ball. Things like this do NOT belong on a Golf Course.

Summary, great course, great shape, but I would never ever return and bring them my money.

Challenging, but forgiving. Super well-groomed, Very scenic.

All of the above and a wonderful golf course. The only thing I will note is that it is the ONLY golf course that I have ever been on where the greenskeeping staff works in the direction of play. It can be tiresome to have the same mower moving along the course with you. Usually greenskeepers move against the players. I HOPE THE HEAD GREENSKEEPER READS THIS!!!

Beautiful Mountain Course

In the top three favorite courses to play for me. I love this course. Almost always in great shape and very friendly staff. I have to drive 55 miles to get here and it is worth it. If I lived closer, I'd play here at least once a week.
