True mountain course

Innsbruck is always a fun time with a lot of narrow fairways where you're either in the fairway or in trouble! Beautiful scenery! Number 15 is one of the most intriguing holes I've ever seen personally. This round was cut short by a severe thunderstorm with lightning so we only got in 14 holes but still worth the money.

Poor Condition and not "average" golfer friendly

Green were ok but the fairways and tees were in terrible shape for a "resort" course. Too many blind/narrow shots. Not an "average" (18 to 24 handicap) golfer friendly course. Will not play it again.

The challenge of a north Georgia mountains golf course is real!

Innsbruck offers a great challenge to a golfer like me that , after years of sitting on the sidelines of work at a teaching career, have picked up the game and love to play with colleagues At least once a week.
The course is up and down but your in the mountains and the layout is never boring.
My buddies and I think #15 is the all time most exciting hole to conquer! The 450 foot drop down to a secluded pin is awesome. Yes, we cheat, if there is nobody behide us , and allow each member of the foursome three shots!
Great staff , great place! Thanks!

Innsbruck Rough Terrain

I enjoy the layout at Inssbruck, and because of that I replay. The current condition is sub par, as the fairways are dead or patchy, tee boxes are dirt, and the greens had just been aerated. On the plus side, always beautiful scenery of the N GA mountains, Mt. Yona and just the elevation in general. The greens were green, and should be in wonderful shape by middle May. This course is challenging, even though not long. Some holes are very, very tight. Better bring a solid 3W or long iron.

Great course for the money. The cart paths could use some work. Will return when to see how it plays when everything is alive.

Course in poor condition

Have played this course for years but can truthfully say it's in the worse shape I have ever seen. They need to do some serious work on it. They need to pay people to play it instead of you having to pay. Awful round of golf on this course. Played well just terrible shape

Rather extreme fairway sloping

Fun, challenge for club selection. Must know your game & control of distance for placement to greens. Cart paths could use better marking from green to next tee in some places. Overall, very interesting layout, with a few forced shots, which could have used some guidance on the tee or card.

Has a scenic mt. view feature. We have been a regular visitor

Two teams for 3 & 4 in front us were extremely slow in playing. We had to wait every 18 holes, and even we replayed same hole rather waiting, they were still behind. We've never seen any ranger in the course of rounding.

Plenty of elevation change

Great vistas on every hole. This course is narrow but there are no tricks. Some water but it is not overly challenging. Overall a very nice course to play.

Poor condition.

Greens better than they have been. Fairways, tee boxes poor. Cart paths poor. Views are great. If you go don't keep score, enjoy the mountains, wildlife, and company.

Challenging layout ... excellent greens but tough

Tight mountain course. Accuracy off the tees a must. Greens have a lot of break but are fair to judge speed.
No. 15 is a must-play par 3 ... 155 yards but a 180 foot drop from tee to well protected green.

A great experience!

This course is an extreme mountain experience. Be prepared to lose a few balls and find a few balls even if you are a straight hitter. There are shots that require two or three clubs more than the distance indicated and some need a club or two less than indicated. One par three is like teeing off from the rim of the Grand Canyon- A great fun hole. The greens were in very good shape but the rest of the course could use some attention. Over all it was tricky but very playable. A fun day!

No comment

Probably would have enjoyed it more except for wet conditions on many holes.
