Calhoun Elks Lodge & Golf Club

The dude at the front desk was not exactly the most jovial cat. People skills clearly not his strong point. However, had no bearing on the round. Had a good time. Played terribly also not out of the norm.
Overall great time perfect weather had fun. What more can you ask for? I’ll go back several times this summer I’m sure.

This course has alot of winter issues. A lot of construction going on. Wait a few months before visiting they are working on it but not in good shape right now.

I've played here many times and have seen the ups the downs and just outright bad moments. That being said it's still a fun course and has the potential to be a great course again.

Fair value
Fun layout with some reachable par 4s.
Discount is mostly for condition of greens.
Our group always have fun. We’re weekend warriors and are appreciative of the opportunity to enjoy the facility.
We shall return.

The staff here are super friendly and the atmosphere of the operation as a whole is easy-going. If you are near by, it is definitely worth the trip. It is about an hour away from my house, I will definitely be going again. The set up of the course is a little confusing, but not so hard that you cannot figure it out. The course is by no means fancy. If you're used to playing at the country club, you will be disappointed. If you are a casual player like myself (I play 2 to 3 times a month just for fun), then you will have a great time. For $20.00 its worth every penny.

People seem to in the can pay $15-$20 for a round and are going to play at Augusta National. For $15 with cart for 18 holes this track is awesome! Don’t get me wrong…the fairways are rough, and the greens are pretty scruffy, but you aren’t playing here if you’re a scratch golfer. Just enjoy being out there and stop being a baby!

I have played this course over several decades and it has never been in such disarray. At one time it was one of the nicer courses in the North GA area, but sadly those days are long gone. There are no fairways any longer only crabgrass which is nearly impossible to play from. The greens are terrible, as well as the overall course condition. The management has run this once nice course into the ground!

I've played this course numerous times over the years, but it has been a while since I've played here. I love the layout. It's challenging, open in some areas, narrow in others. The issue is the course conditions. They've never been pristine, but they were certainly better in the past. The greens have bare spots, some weird, crab grass looking situation on them, oh, and anthills. The FAIRWAY was so overgrown that I lost two balls in the fairway. I had to worry about catching a flyer from the fairway. And, finally, the rough looked just like the fairway. Again, I loved this course years ago. I double eagled number 15. It's my favorite golf memory. Somebody, please, fix this place up.

For the price, there are better courses. Grass was pretty tall so we constantly lost balls.

I can see this course having great potential, but the fairways were really out of shape. I understand the rain probably had something to do with them not being cut properly. The bunkers had weeds in them and at times the course was hard to follow due to no signage/directions. I will say the staff was friendly and professional.

Overall, the course was worth the price. The golf carts are brand new which is nice. The course is very relaxed and go with the flow. The greens are well kept. However, the fairways could be cut shorter. I lost several balls in the weeds on the fairway. Also they could have a few more ball cleaners throughout as well as better sings and directions at the holes.

Worst golf course around! The lady that runs the counter was either drunk or in drugs! I brought my 6 year old son who plays with me at every course I go to and was almost told to we couldn’t play because he was with us! She finally ended up letting us go because she didn’t want to give us our money back but was told a golf course is not a place for kids and not to bring him back! Not even going to get into how poor the condition of the course is!

I had a great time with my friends. It was hard to find the green. So We hit the ball to the other hole. It was funny. I enjoyed anyway.
