Mountain course near highlands

Well maintained & challenging with lots of elevation changes. Riding only as the carts are needed to get around. Good firm greens and dramatic sloping fairways and a couple of blind corner drops. Lotsa fun for the money.

Fun,scenic, and a strategic course

Several elevated greens that require one or two clubs more and several holes downhill where a driver is not required. Not a long course but one that makes you think. It is in excellent shape.

It was good

Overall the course was great with the exception of hole 5 with all the goose droppings ...not cool, the pace of play was very slow due to the fact that it was cart path only n there wasn't hardly any yardage markers n gps did not work there so I was pretty much guessing on every shot, but overall it was very well maintained nice smooth greens

Nice Mountain Course

Relative short course in great condition. They had 4 inches of rain over a three day period and course drained well. Even though it was cart path only the fairways were not soaked. Greens in great condition. In order to score well you must keep ball in fairway. The rough will punish your score.

Kingwood Golf Club & Resort is GREAT!

What a wonderful course with a helpful and friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Kingwood golf course! The fairways were lush and green (and you better stay in them), the first cut was punishingly thick. You could get it out of the first cut but it was a lot like a penalty for me because I could not get much distance out of the thick grass. The greens were magnificent though not very fast. I kept putting as though they were fast and left some putts short but I did love the greens. I will definitely be back for more AND will recommend this course to others!!

Nice course

This course is very nice! The only problem I have with the course concerns the length of 3 or 4 holes. This course is only 6100 yards so some of the holes are awful short for anyone that has better than average length. This will not stop me from playing the course again though.

low pressure golf

Great mountain course. My wife and I played two days in a row. Several holes have great Vista's with creeks bordering many holes. The greens were like glass. I really enjoyed how far the ball traveled.

amazing mountain course

This place is killer! Well manicured and upkeep is perfect. Greens rolled great fairways were great only downside was the sand, from all the recent rain it was tough to get out of there but it was do able. Even bad shots have a chance with the funnel of hills and slope your always in play!! We played 3 days in a row and never got tired of the course. The views are AMAZING!!

A Great Day

The course was in good shape, The staff was very professional and welcoming. This is a course you need to play a few times to learn the holes. It would of been helpful if they offered a tip sheet for playing certain holes.
Will play again when we are in the area.

Love this course but

I love playing this course, and the entire staff is very friendly and helpful. The only problem was that there was no indication on golf now that one nine was closed, or that the greens were aerified, and not sanded. If I had known this up front, we would have chosen to meet at another course. Extremely disappointed that we did not know this until after a significant drive by both, to meet at this course.

Great setting with beautiful views

Enjoyed the round, had to play the back twice due to punching holes on front. Course has some winter kill like all the other courses I have played this year, but still enjoyable. Their greens are very nice and very similar to my home course. I will play it again soon, I hope.

This course has great views

Being in the north Georgia mountains, this course has some great views. The course is in great condition and the staff are very helpful and courteous. This has become one of my favorite courses to play. I have introduced several of my friends to this course and they all want to come back and play again. They offer a great stay and play package.

Fabulous

I played three days in a row, the course is in great conditions, and challenging. NICE!!!
The only complain that if have are the workers (mowers) they are so irritating and keeps following you and do not stop when I try to hit or putt the ball.
I will be back...

Kingwood Mountain course

Love the layout of this course with doglegs, elevation changes and fastest running streams I've every seen on a golf course. Staff is repairing the fairways that are recovering from a harsh winter. Greens are in great shape and show no signs of the bad winter, but I could not adjust to their slow speed. This is a course that I always look forward to playing and have never been disappointed and it seems more golfers have learned of this gem; several out state tags in the parking lot.
