fun time

It was my first time playing this course as well as two other members of our foursome. I had a hard time adjusting to the fairways because I felt like I needed to hit it harder to compensate for the uphill lies. Poor judgement on my behalf. The weather was fantastic and the course was in excellent shape. We enjoyed the course overall. I would recommend it to anyone.

Enjoyed my round

The course was enjoyable and the greens were excellent. We completed our round in 4 hours on a busy Friday morning. The pace of play on front 9 was excellent, though we slowed down on back 9 due to shorter par 4s. Overall excellent course and value.

This is a great course. Would like to see a little longer grass in the fairways.

Love the course

I live this course Chad and his staff always take care of me when I play. It’s winter golf so the greens are off a little. But for what they charge it’s prefect. Fairways were cut good and with all the rain we had we still was only 90 degree rule with karts.
Great job Chad Efields

What a day!!!

Course was nice and beautiful. Had a great round. I shot an 85. Only thing that was off were the tee boxes. The grass on the tee boxes were very tall, other than that it was a nice course. I will be back to play again in the near future.

Nice Little Courae

The course was in great shape, and perfect for a mid morning outing. The course is shorter than most, but being a 24 handicapper, it was the right distance for me. A really great value for the price, and it will punish you if you don't stay on the fairway.

Slow greens and inconsiderate greens crew

My experience at Apple Mountain was nearly ruined by a pair of guys on tractors that came into the fairway of the 10th hole right as I was about to tee off and paid no attention to our group at all. We were well ahead of the group behind us but by the time we were able to tee off they had caught us. Then my on approach shot shot they came back around and literally never slowed down as I was trying to hit my approach. I had never seen anything like it.

Also the green were so slow it was like putting on shag carpet.

Great value course, bunkers need repair

Apple Mountain is a solid course with a lot of elevation changes. The fairways, greens, and tee boxes are in good shape; however, there were some bunkers in need of repair on the course. Otherwise, Apple Mountain has good value for the money and is worth a round if you are in the North Georgia mountains.

Greens need work

In the course is in good condition, very pretty layout. For a Saturday the pace of play was good. The only problem was the greens all had areas with no grass, If you had a long putt you would almost always have to go through an area with no grass. Not good!

Horrible experience and a pro that is unprofessional

The course is the greens are in horrible shape. It's clear this course is not maintained, and the owners aren't willing to put the money up to keep it in shape.

On the 12th hole, A ball flies over me. I turn around and see someone I haven't seen driving straight down the fairway with his wife and daughter of 12 years old. He drives the ball in front of me hits it to the green and and I say sure, you can play through. He looks at me and says "thanks."

After this I had to wait 15 minutes as the persons in front of us I had been working in a reasonable rate of play. After seeing his daughter driving the cart and running around on the greens and I'm sitting there having to wait to play I was done. I want to the cart barn called the pro and he didn't care. So I can't support a course that won't enforce etiquette, thinking dition I don't really care about cars I'm not that much of a stickler. But I know a lot of people are.
