Delays and pace was really bad.

Had 12:40 tee time but they had huge tournament that started late 9:45. Log jam at tee box started us 50 minutes late then pace was horrible the whole round. Had to leave at 6;00 and had only played 14 holes with our 3 some, Everything else was great.

Cool course

Nice scenic course with a good flow. Not impressed with the way other golfers show little respect for the course…not replacing divots, not raking the bunkers, etc. But overall, good golf for a good price.

Enjoy the golf as much as the scenery

Just North of Atlanta at the start of the North Georgia mountains is a tough track, but the scenery w/ deer, wild turkey and well kept large greens softens the blows of some bogeys or worse. Front 9 will rough you up then you can make it up on the back until #18. Best value for your dollar around. The drive in to the course w/ the view of Lake Arrowhead kicks off a good day ahead. They are fixing the road in so that will be nice when complete.

Unforgiving at times

While there are plenty of "normal" holes on this course, there are a number of holes that average golfers will have a big challenge playing. I do believe I lost a few more balls than I found, so the horrors of the OB are livable. Good scores are quite a challenge for those new to the course, but I was impressed with the tees and greens. Give it a go, but don't say you weren't warned.

Excellent with a few Flaws

I live nearby and play the course often. LA is a wonderful prize in the GA mountains and a nice course with beautiful views Mgmt had done a nice job getting it in VG condition and I always enjoy it. There are two flaws that should be addressed. This course has virtually no ball washers, a simple item to correct, but it never gets fixed. Fairways are nice, went from Poor to VG but they still cut them too short...a chronic aggravation. I love the place but wish they could add washers and stop mowing fairways so short. Still a VG.

Lake Arrowhead is a great track!

This is a very challenging track!! You need to really put your shots in the right place or it will be very frustrating. I will definitely play this one again and again!!

Great Course, just needs to jump to the 21st century

Love this course. My only real complaint is that the management has the bar cart employee trying to sell refreshments with cash only. Most people today don’t carry cash still. A simple electronic payment system would result in so many more sales and allow patrons of the course more ways to buy. Seems like a very easy fix to me.

Aerated Greens with sand

The greens were so insanely bad, they had piles of sand on the aerated greens. Nothing smoothed out. I contemplated the whole time asking for my money back it was that’d bad. A sherif drove by and shrugged and said sorry about that and left. Not worth the money in the slightest bit.

If you like a flat golf course, this one is definitely not for you. Be prepared to hit lots of sidehill/uphill and blind shots. The course has 3 or 4 holes with near impossible carries for mid/high handicappers. The greens were recently aerated and are heavily sanded (most sand I have ever experienced) and were basically unplayable on 9/7. Sand traps were un-raked and could use some of the sand that was dumped on the greens.

Wait a couple of weeks before booking there. The scenery will be spectacular when foliage season starts.
