Valhalla Resort Hotel

This review is purely for the golf course which I played recently as part of an organized golf association event.

With respect to the course itself, I feel it is certainly worth playing if you are in the area. It was still very early in the season when I played and that needs to be taken into account in my review. I found several of the holes to be very narrow and in some cases the greens were a little on the unfair side - almost impossible to stop the ball on downhill putts, even at this time of year. The signature Par 3 on the back nine is almost worth the trip alone but overall, I certainly felt satisfied with the course and very happy I made the drive up from North Atlanta to play in the event.

As you would expect given its location, the scenery is absolutely spectacular and I found the staff hospitality to be exceptional from the guy at the gatehouse to the Club Pro and everyone else in between. We were made to feel extremely welcome at all times.

Challenging course... up hill, then down with tight fairways, plenty of contour on the greens. Played on a rainy day and had a great time. Beautiful course, fun to play and the staff was friendly and informative. Can't wait to play again.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The course is in excellent condition and the fairways are very open.

I have mixed feelings giving this course 5 stars because I don't want this course to become flooded with tee times. We have played this course for many years. It has never been in such excellent shape! We have two homes in golf course communities, but this is our favorite course! We love the layout and elevation changes. We feel at home on this course. We love it!

Greens were in great conditions with subtle tilts. Fairways could use some work on several holes. Overall very good course in good condition. Play it. You will not be disappointed.

Probably the best course we have played. The course, the staff and the equipment were all good. Love this course and we will return many times in the future.

I booked a HotDeal, so got a great price, The staff is friendly and the course has a few challenging holes, where it's narrow off the tee box, followed by a dog leg right, or another hole that's dog leg left after the water. There's also a par 3 that's a huge drop after the tee box. It's a nice challenge on some holes, but not every so you don't rack up penalty strokes. But don't think it isn't easy to!

I recommend getting food at the turn and hitting the social scene around Helen after, especially if it's a nice day. & I would drive up there 2-3 times a year, even though it's about 70 miles.

I was pleasantly surprised of how well this course was kept. It has very narrow fairways so you may want to play other clubs besides your driver. Carts have GPS which is always nice. Great value for the $$$.

Layout great. Tough, narrow, challenging conditions. Several really great holes! Greens were fast (especially downhill) and in good shape.
However, cart paths in bad shape, but not really a problem;; exposed rock and bare ground in both fairways and roughs were problematic! You really can't play the ball down. Where grass grew, the tees and fairways were fine -- oh, except for some wet spots where you couldn't walk! Cart was dirty and both sand containers were completely empty! Not what I expected from other reviews!

This course is beautiful, up high in the mountains. Cool breezes and scenery. The staff couldn't be any nicer and helpful. They have some rough spots on their cart paths but they are working hard this summer to repair and replace the worst of them. Great place to play and then hangout in town.

Very nice course. Greens were micro punched so with a little sand and some rolling they should be perfect. Played the hooch today and missed Innsbruck.

Beautiful course, especially the elevated tees. The par 3 15th is one of the most beautiful holes I have ever seen! Very challenging and narrow, will test your golf game for sure!

The greens were great! Pace was a little slow, but a really nice course to play!

Course in good shape, greens good and quick. Pace of play was about 3 hrs for 18 holes.
Nice layout

Had a tee time for Aug.17th did not get to play due to cart path only. This was the first time I have ever received a phone call from a course to let me know it was cart path only which was great as I was a hour and a half away. I've played here before great layout and every time I've played course is getting better.

This course is located in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. For the price you are finding a nice hidden mountain course with some narrow holes and serious hills. It is a lot of fun and very different from your standard course. I would definitely recommend playing this course. Hole 14 is the signature hole as it overlooks a large drop onto a good looking green. A lot of fun!
