Celebrating my wife's Birthday

Our favorite course in Georgia. Another great day on the course with spring getting close. The trees are slowly getting their first canopy of emerald green leaves. The fairways are hardening up and you are getting that extra roll. The blue tees are now moved back for summer play, and that increased temperature helps that ball fly a little longer through the air. You still have to hit it hard on #3, #12 and #16 to get up the hill and clear the gully's. This is always a great course to play and a great test of golf to challenge all your game. Don't choke because it is always a mess to clean up. Your scorecard will not like it. Have fun hit it long and straight.

Wonderful day at the end of winter

The course was in excellent condition with fairways hard and fast and the greens rolling pure. First time I have ever driven the green on hole number 2 from the blue tees and I am a senior rate golfer. My wife included had one of her best rounds ever driving off the tee on 11, 13 and 17 with less than 50 yards to the greens. Always a great course, and this time of the year the fairways have not yet grown in; so they roll hard like out west in Texas or New Mexico. Take yourself to highland and enjoy a great course.

Beautiful winter gold day

Our favorite course, and again a wonderful day in the North Georgia lowlands; on a wonderful course that we feel is the best in Georgia. Our feelings are also echoed by the increasing number of people who are now playing this course. Come play this course if you want a challenge. If you can get around a couple over par from the blues, then you can play anywhere. There is also scenic views and lots of wild life.

Gem on the coast

This is a superb course with a lot of challenges and hole layouts that make you think. You have to place your tee shots in strategic positions off the tee; or you will have second shots to the greens maneuvering around large oaks with layered southern moss. From the blue tees a good challenge, and remember at 12 feet above sea level the ball does not fly as far as playing in Atlanta Georgia. A little bit slow on pace of play, with four groups backed up on each hole. However, we were told there was a tournament; which slowed everything down. A group of local members behind us echoed the slow play saying it was not normal. If your a competent golfer your not spending a lot of time off the fairway and green; so maybe you get to the next tee a little quicker. PLAY this course, you will love it. But hit it straight and true.

Always the best

My wife and I play various courses around North Georgia and even courses not listed on Golf Now. We always come back to Highland Walk because it is the best in every category. The Management, Course Conditions, Layout and Value for money. We all play golf to have a fun time, challenge ourselves and improve our games. Some courses don't manage the pace of play, or they over book the course so there are four groups on one hole. Not highland walk. A great course to play, and one that presents you with some challenging shots off the tee; and from the fairway.

Great Course but no marshall's

This is the third and final round we will play at Apple Mountain because of the pace of play. We have been playing apple mountain for over 15 years. There are no Marshall's on the course to speed up play. Even during the week there were three (3) groups backed up on 50 % of the holes; because there was a fourth group trying to get to the green. It is inexcusable for a Holiday Inn Vacation resort course to have this management of the patrons. If there was a Marshall or someone from the pro shop driving around and maintaining the pace of play; then it would be enjoyable for everyone. If you cannot play golf go to the driving range and learn how to; before you go on the course,

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing.

Good Practice Course close to town

Playing here since the late 1990's. Great little course to practice on with some challenging holes to hone your game. No practice range, so come feeling good about your swing.

Fabulous during hard times

This course is always in the best condition possible; far superior to most other courses. We love to play this course because it is always a challenge. If you can score on this course you will be able to play most other courses. Go and play golf and make this course a definite stop on your rotations. Bring your big boy pants and bring your tissue, because you will be crying over some of your shots.

Great course during coronavirus

Great day on our favorite course during the coronavirus state stay in place order. The course practiced all the necessary precautions. The course was in perfect condition and the spring greens were great. This course is truly a gem in Georgia so get out and play. Support our state park golf courses. And all golf courses. Don’t let this recreational sport be mitigated by a virus. We all need exercise.

Winter rounds

Our favorite course which we play all the time. However; yesterday the greens were a little slow, but that was not due to the staff. The warmer weather is bringing in the new spring grass which is starting to grow on the greens. They still roll perfectly, but the different shades make it harder to see the lines. This course is the best to play in either winter or summer. Come and challenge yourself on a course where you cannot miss any shots; from the tee or the fairway.

Our favorite

This is the best course in north Georgia offering the best layout and challenges. We always love coming to this course because the greens roll true and you must hit your driver and irons straight. Put this course on your rotation only if you like a challenge.

Always a Gem

We continue to always return to our favorite course in North Georgia. This is always in the best condition no matter what time of year; or the weather. A great course to play if you want to improve your game. Has a great driving range if you are still learning how to hit the ball. Always play the blue tees which require a good tee shot on 3, 12, and 17. When they have the tees set up at the max; you need a pretty good launch angle and swing speed. However, the last round they moved them up to a more favorable rating. Great course for anyone seeking a challenge.

A wonderful day challenging all the clubs in my bag. Every part of the course is in great shape. The blue tees were pushed back, making you focus on hitting accurate shots. A great course to play in the North Georgia mountains and enjoy the fall colors.

Our favorite course

This is a great course to hone your game using every club in your bag. The holes are a good mix of challenging, to very challenging, to difficult. You have to be on top of your swing otherwise the course gods and the state forest will eat up your balls. The greens are perfect and birdies will be had if you can put. Great amenities, always nice people and plenty of ice and water stations on the course. Have fun but make sure your big stick is working.

Winder Gem

Great country course in winder, with plenty of challenging and interesting holes. The course will test all the clubs in your bag; except the putter. Playing from the blue tees, requires you to hit some accurate tee shots on a variety of par 3's; par 4's and a par 5. The greens are not fast, so this course does not test your putting prowess; but they are in good condition for Bermuda. If you are an above average golfer; getting around in even par proves your ability getting to the greens. You want to play this course to get practice hitting those clubs pure.

One of the best

I have been playing golf in Georgia since 1997; and playing this course since early 2,000's. To me this is one of the best public courses in the State. The layout is very conducive to challenging all facets of your game. Woods, long irons and short irons are all used on the array of interesting layouts for the holes. Accuracy is needed on nearly every hole, except maybe no#1. The first hole and second hole lulls you into thinking that this course is easy; but soon the golf gods slap you in the face when you get to No#3. I like to play the Blue tees on this course, because if you are an average golfer, you need to bring your A game to go home with a decent score. Playing this course certainly shrinks the balls (golf) and everything else. Everybody needs a shrinking some time to bring you back to reality. Have a great round at a great course; you will need the well wishes.

Great Course in the Georgia Mountains

My wife and I played this course for the first time and loved the layout and the course conditions. From the back tees it makes you play all your clubs; and you cannot take driver on every hole. Pace of play was a little slow with a couple learning the game in front of us. On the back nine we joined up with a single who is a member and regular at the course; and enjoyed his company and his guiding hand around the course. The course is a great challenge, and now that we have played it once, we know how to play it. Well worth a visit for anyone who enjoys a good old traditional layout.

Returning after 8 years

We use to play this course frequently when we lived in the area. After moving to North Georgia 8 years ago, we have not returned. We found a great deal online and decided to return to a great course. We were not disappointed; and my wife commented how much she liked the course. Except for a very slow threesome in front of us, the day would have been excellent. Course conditions were great, and there are some challenging holes; with one hole having a reasonable forced carry if you play from the tips or the Blues. All around a great course to play; but you need patience if the course is busy with a lot of golfers new to the game; needing those extra shots off the tee.
