Use all your clubs

This course is a lot of fun to play but difficult and requires a lot of course management. A few forced carries, rivers and streams, and sugar-like traps add depth. The greens were in excellent shape, fairly fast, and subtle to read. From straightforward par threes, to a wide variety of par fours, to long par fives, this course features a lot of variety that leads to the use of most clubs in your bag, including some long irons and hybrids off the tee. The only issue is several holes that hold water, so beware of damp lies

the course was playing tough with high winds, tough par threes from the tips, and dormant grass. Greens were very nice, no logo balls in pro shop. Overall a good course.

great course

Love this course one of the best in North Georgia in my opinion. Staff could use a little work not the most friendly people. Course has been in good condition every time I play it.

This course has a great mountain setting.

The greens were fast, but that added to the challenge. Leaves were changing and we enjoyed the surroundings. We had dinner after the round and the food was fabulous.

Achasta= GEM

Man I'll tell you God smiled on us today. It rained the whole drive up 400. Still raining on route 60 turn into Achasta The rain stops. Now to the course She is in great shape greens are fast and smooth. The bunkers both fairway and green-side are in great shape. They promote hitting good shots out of them. Fairway are in good shape. If I had to lodge a complaint it would be about the tee boxes. I'm sure they will get those right but no an issue that effects your experience. Take a ride up there. I will be back soon.

Fantastic Course, Conditions Above Average

One of the best layouts I have played. The fairways were nice and wide, but the approach shots made you think. Par 3's were challenging. The greens could have been in better shape, but were not bad. Some tee boxes need (more) work. Fairways were in immaculate shape.

The only complaint I have is that the carts could have had rain canopies. It was raining when we teed off, but luckily it stopped soon after, otherwise our bags would have been soaked. One would expect better from a high-end/Arnold Palmer course.

Great track

Enjoyed another round at Achasta yesterday afternoon. They'd had a big storm the previous day so fairways were soaked and it was understandably cart path only. Conditions were otherwise very good as usual and staff seemed genuinely happy to have us there. We were a twosome and played In 3:30. I find the course to have a great mix of holes and now that I've played it a few times better understand how to play the somewhat quirky ones (4, 9, 15). Hope to get back again while the leaves are turning!

Nice, if you can get discount

Great layout! Beautiful course set in the mountains, but not a hilly course at all. Greens were a bit beat, but rolled true. Normal prices are sky high. If you can get on with a Hot Deal, well worth it.

Worth the trip!

I live near chateau elan and wanted a change of scenery. Hot deal and course conditions made it well worth the 55 minute drive.
Can't wait until next time. .

Fun layout

Course is in good shape and drying out. Greens are a little slow but think they haven't been cut in a day or so, still rolling nice.. A few to many ball marks not repaired which most semi-private or private courses seem to have. Come on members, know you are wealthy, but bend over and repair your divits :). Great lay out, allows you to work the ball off the tee fade or draw. If you are hitting well you should go low here.

NO other course offers the amenities, sights, sounds or Green to Tee quality of Achasta! I felt like I was on tour with the amazing conditions. Don't worry about the long drive. You'll be glad you went.

Amazing course

Conditions were excellent which is a nice change from most courses around here this spring. Fairways are lush and the greens are rolling very well. With the discount I got to play here it makes it a no brainer. Will be back for sure. We played the blues which is fair and challenging. Only thing I would have liked to have was a pin chart on the cart. Had no idea where the pins were but I always shoot at the middle anyway so not really that important for my level.

Excellent course

I had driven by Achasta numerous times, and had always wanted to play it. It did not disappoint in any way. It was a great layout that was in great shape. Greens were not all that fast, but rolled extremely true and smooth. Pace of play was also great, unlike most public courses closer to Atlanta.
